When discussing forms of renewable energies, investors most often think of sources like wind, solar, or hydrogen. Often overlooked is the hydroelectric sector of run-on-river plants that harness the energy of rushing water to create power. One of the leaders in this industry is a small Canadian firm called Innergex Renewable Energy Co. (TSE:INE), which is based out of Quebec and was founded back in 1990. Run-of-river plants are not as common as reservoir hydroelectric plants, but the former have some clear benefits including limited impact on the surrounding environments and less fossil fuel usage, as the plants harness the natural power of the rivers. One drawback is that run-of-river plants are unfirm sources of power, meaning there is no means of energy storage, rather they are utilized as energy sources instead.

In fact, an estimated 67% of its upcoming projects are wind powered, followed by 23% of them being solar.
So how will Innergex perform as a long term investment? There are definitely positives for Innergex as a player in multiple different renewable energy sources. Canada is rich in natural resources as well as unused land for potential new sites.

At nearly 40% off its 52-week high price, Innergex makes for an attractive investment opportunity for investors bullish on green energies.
