Are you interested in energy investing? When power is created from the use of harnessed water, this is referred to as Hydro Power. Though hydropower and water are not resources that can be traded on exchanges, many still consider this to be an important sector for commodity investors.

It is not an option to invest directly in hydropower, but, with that said, there are considerable options for those looking to bet on the increased adoption of this power source.

How to Invest in Hydro

Currently, there is only one way to invest in Hydropower and that is through stocks.

Buying Hydro Stocks

As mentioned, investing directly in hydropower is not possible. However, there are options for those hoping to gain exposure to hydropower. Many recommend that investors buy the stocks of companies who are actively engaged in this sector, as this is the best way to bet on water power.

If you are looking for publicly-traded companies who focus on developing hydropower, make sure that you check out the following companies: Alstom (EPA:$ALO), AECOM Technology, Brookfield Renewable Power Fund (TSE:$BRC.UN), and Run of River Power (CVE:$ROR).
