With over 100 years of hydropower experience, AtkinsRéalis is at the forefront of energy sustainability
WaterPower Canada (WPC) is excited to welcome AtkinsRéalis to Canadian Waterpower Week (CWW, September 27) as both a trade show exhibitor and sponsor of Concurrent Breakout Session Stream “Climate Change, Environmental Affairs and Indigenous Relations”.
From its foundation, AtkinsRéalis – formerly SNC Lavalin – has been a leader in Canada’s hydropower industry, totaling over 100 years’ experience across all the major hydropower development projects in Canada and around the world.
As a result, AtkinsRéalis has built up one of the largest dedicated hydropower teams of 250+ people across Canada. This multidisciplinary team encompasses a wide range of skills from hydrology to civils, mechanical and electrical, capable of concept all the way through feasibility, engineering, construction, and operation.
With their hydropower experience and expertise, the AtkinsRéalis team is leading the charge at the large-scale hydro project, Site C on British Columbia’s Peace River.
AtkinsRéalis is close to achieving first power for BC Hydro, representing years of work in developing such a project. When launched, Site C will produce about 5,100 GWh of electricity each year – enough energy to power the equivalent of about 450,000 homes.
Also active in the transmission, renewables, and nuclear sectors, AtkinsRéalis is uniquely positioning to develop integrated energy solutions that can help lead towards a decarbonized economy.
To reach net-zero, Canada must transition to renewables while also balancing competing needs. This transition is dependent on successful integration. Deep and broad collaboration, both horizontally between regions, and vertically with our national government is required.
Focused on uniting the industry around better working practices, unlock efficiencies, and achieving clean, reliable power for all, AtkinsRéalis looks forward to Canadian Waterpower Week and partnering with organizations seeking sustainable solutions.
AtkinsRéalis is based in Montreal, Quebec. To learn more about AtkinsRéalis visit atkinsrealis.com or contact Christophe Rigny or Sébastien Vittecoq.
