IPS Renewables provides turn-key solutions that include design upgrades, testing, inspection, parts, replacements, and repair services.

Turn-key hydro services

Now led by the former GE and ABB hydro services team, our solutions extend the life and improve performance of critical hydro plant assets.

Our dedicated, experienced group of hydro service professionals, bring 250 combined years of institutional knowledge. They bring engineering, design history, and technical skills for hydro generator service and repair up to 350 MW.

  • Hydro generator test and inspection

    Our Hydro Generator Test and Inspection Condition Assessment (T&I) gives you a detailed understanding of your equipment’s actual condition. This understanding reduces unscheduled outages and unplanned repair costs.

    As part of our T&I service, customers receive a final report documenting the results of the electrical tests and visual inspections performed. We also provide immediate and long-term recommendations and additional proposed inspection schedules.
