KSB offers pumps and valves for hydroelectric power plants.

Hydroelectric power plants

The use of hydroelectric power as a climate-friendly energy source has long played a significant role in Europe, but there is still huge potential for global expansion. Innovative small-scale concepts in rivers in particular offer enormous opportunities in this regard. When it comes to supplying the necessary pumps and valves, you can rely on the quality and expertise of KSB.

With KSB's solutions, hydroelectric power runs smoothly and reliably.


The reliable and efficient operation of a large-scale waterworks places special requirements on the pumps and valves used in such applications. In primary processes, large flow rates often need to be pumped at significant heads. Pump efficiency plays an even more important role in meeting these performance requirements.

Smaller projects and innovative forms of hydroelectric power also have significant potential to make a valuable contribution to the global energy transition. Here too, components are needed that achieve maximum efficiency. Whatever the size of your hydroelectric project, all KSB products offer the highest level of quality, efficiency and durability.

When it comes to water transport and hydroelectric power technology, our customers can rely on over 150 years of experience. Whether in the primary processes of a hydroelectric power plant or in secondary processes, a homogeneous pump population is key to optimising maintenance strategies and spare parts management. Our service experts are well-versed in hydroelectric power technology and will be happy to assist you.
