Pittsfield, ME – September 15, 2026 – Kleinschmidt Associates will have a strong presence at Clean Currents 2026 in Phoenix, Arizona, contributing throughout the conference as speakers, presenters, moderators and sponsors.

Kleinschmidt professionals will contribute to the Clean Currents program, sharing expertise on topics including workforce development, hydropower modernization, hydraulic modeling, technical innovation and the future of the industry.

“Clean Currents gives our industry an opportunity to come together around the challenges and opportunities ahead for hydropower,” said Tim Oakes, CEO of Kleinschmidt Associates. “We’re proud to have so many members of the Kleinschmidt team contributing their expertise, sharing ideas, and learning alongside our clients and industry partners.”

Kleinschmidt’s involvement will begin before the conference officially gets underway as title sponsor of the Clean Currents Golf Tournament. The firm will also sponsor the Women in Water Power Roundtable Dialogue and Networking in the Lunch Area, supporting opportunities for industry professionals to connect, exchange perspectives and strengthen leadership across the water power community.

At the Innovation Powerhouse, Kleinschmidt’s interactive Hydro Tycoon Game will give attendees an opportunity to explore real-world hydropower modernization decisions. The activity uses energy modeling analysis to demonstrate how investments such as unit upgrades, new runners and minimum-flow additions can influence generation potential and revenue.

The conference comes during a milestone year for Kleinschmidt, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2026. The firm’s involvement at Clean Currents reflects six decades of advancing hydropower while continuing to invest in the people, ideas and collaboration shaping the industry’s future.

Kleinschmidt invites Clean Currents attendees to connect with the team throughout the conference at Booth 1033 and join the firm in celebrating 60 years of advancing hydropower.
