The Energy of Water
Veroniki Holding strongly believes in renewable energy such as that produced through the action of water.
For this reason, strategically, it is investing in Hydro Power Plants.
Hydroelectric energy is based on two fundamental properties possessed by water: potential and kinetic energy.
The first is due to the phenomenon of evaporation of the seas which, in the form of meteoric precipitation (rain, snow, or hail), causes the water to fall back onto the mainland, making it acquire potential energy.
The path that water takes from its source to its mouth transforms its potential energy gradually into kinetic energy. Taking advantage of the differences in height (whether artificial or natural) and conveying the water in hydro turbines, electricity is generated.
