Due to political committment, Hydro Power has not been affected so far. Large investments in the power plant engineering sector are still being made, especially due to the long duration of the projects.

As the EU is seriously committed to reducing its overall emissions to at least 20% below 1990 levels and increasing the share of Renewables to 20%, all by 2020, the discussion about the revival and revamping of Nuclear Power plants is unyielding. The erection of new thermal power plants is a subject of discussion as well.

Within the area of power plant engineering, GJP International has placed positions like Head of Engineering, Director Power Plants, and Technical Expert Power Plants.
