About the course
Hydropower operators and engineers often face the challenge of keeping plants reliable with limited resources, aging assets, and rising expectations. Too often, this leads to reactive maintenance, costly downtime, and unnecessary risks. This course provides a solution. The Maintenance Strategy Module, part of the Hydropower O&M Essentials Training Program by Sunbird Power Academy, gives you practical tools to prioritize critical equipment, manage risks, and build effective maintenance plans. You’ll gain strategies that can be applied immediately to improve safety, reduce costs, and extend the life of your assets. With lessons drawn from real hydropower operations, this program bridges the gap between theory and practice. Take control of maintenance — enroll today and start building safer, smarter, and more reliable hydropower operations.
