Hydro Power Case Study:
Optimizing Asset Investment Strategywith AI Simulation
A testimonial from CNR, France's Leading Producer of 100% Renewable Electricity
In this webinar replay, Renaud Blanc, Asset Management Engineer at CNR, exploreed how CNR uses Cosmo Tech AI-Simulation software as a decision-support tool to optimize investment strategies for its industrial equipment. He discussed how, by accounting for uncertainties related to asset aging and navigating Technical, Organizational, Human, and Economic constraints (TOHE), the AI-Simulation tool transforms CNR’s decision-making and ensures alignment among all stakeholders.
Additionally, Olivier Blancke, Senior Technical Advisor at Cosmo Tech, discussed the broader applications of AI Simulation for asset-intensive organizations in the energy sector.
Key Insights You'll Gain:
- Create robust strategic planning (integrating multiple TOHE constraints)
- Align budgets with operational capacity
- Anticipate and mitigate risks
- Enhance financial and operational performance.
This case study is part of a five-year partnership between CNR and Cosmo Tech that began in early 2024. This collaboration is set to increase the profitability of CNR's capital-intensive industrial facilities and optimize the management of the Rhône’s natural resources, further fortifying CNR's role in the region’s energy transition.

About CNR
CNR (Compagnie Nationale du Rhône) is France’s leading producer of 100% renewable power, with an installed capacity of 4,000 MW. It converts energy from water in the Rhône River – for which it has held the concession since 1934 – and harnesses energy from the wind and sun, operating 115 wind and photovoltaic power plants throughout France. Its business as an energy company is what enables it to fund the development of its two other historic activities – river transportation development and navigation management, agricultural land irrigation – and its public-interest work (5Rhône Plans). CNR is France’s only public-interest limited company. Its shares are held primarily by public investors (183 local authorities and public institutions, the Caisse des Dépôts group). ENGIE is its leading industrial shareholder. France’s Rhône Development law of February 28, 2022, extended the CNR’s concession until 2041.
