"Working with CHC on the Twin Falls Hydroelectric Redevelopment Project was a great experience. From the early stages of plant design and equipment selection, CHC provided valuable input that allowed us to streamline the civil works required and maximize power production and revenues for our client. CHC was flexible and worked with us to implement innovations that met our client’s needs. CHC also followed through in construction and commissioning going above and beyond to ensure the project was started on schedule. The CHC team was a great partner to work with and was an integral part of the overall project success."

Sam Payne

Sugar River Power LLC
Lower Village Hydro Project, NH

“Many thanks for the fast turn-around and quality workmanship on refurbishing our 25-year old units. The first unit has already been installed, is generating good power and running smoothly. We are currently re-assembling the second turbine and are very happy with the quality of the rework so far. It's great to be working with a supplier who really stands behind its machines!"
