Frosio Next
More then 40 years in the hydraulic and hydropower engineering field
The Company was founded in 1980 with the name of Studio Frosio by the engineer Giancarlo Frosio, after a successful career as hydropower plant designer in SEB (Brescia Electrical Company) and in ENEL (the national energy company in Italy), where he was the Director of the Hydropower Division.
In 2021 Studio Frosio evolves and becomes Frosio Next: Strategies for Water.
For over 40 years Frosio Next is an Italian company leader in hydropower design. We design power plants with capacities ranging from a few hundred kilowatts to 50 megawatts installed worldwide, spanning from Italy to Sub-Saharan countries, Georgia, and the Balkan area).
