The average hydroelectric facility has been operating for 64 years — how long has yours?

Do you know the last time preventive maintenance was performed on your switchgear? Do you have switchgear with circuit breakers greater than 15 years old? Is it challenging to get replacement parts?

Do you have planned or unplanned outages at your site? Do you comply with NERC requirements?
