Programme

HYPOSO

EREF and WIP Renewable Energies will present the EU-funded project ,,HYPOSO’’ (Hydropower Solutions for developing and emerging countries) as part of the Renexpo Interhydro trade fair.

The EU-Project is supporting the development of Small Hydropower (SHP) Projects in Latin America and Africa as an integral part of a sustainable as well as secure national energy system. On 30 March 2023 HYPOSO will present six highly interesting SHP project opportunities in Africa. These opportunities have been identified by the HYPOSO -Experts, who inspected the sites and carried out a comprehensive technical and financial project pre-feasibility study for each of the sites. The event aims at connecting the related African project partners/site owners with interested European parties to accelerate the implementation of the projects.

WORKSHOP

By the end of this year at the latest, the EU legislative processes under the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU initiative will have been completed. Some of these EU dossiers will have an impact on the development of the hydropower sector in Europe.

The workshop will provide an overview of recent developments regarding the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III and IV) and the new EU Renewable Energy Law. In addition, the revision of the National Energy and Climate Plans (NEKPs) offers hydropower stakeholders the opportunity to advocate for the sector at national level. Furthermore, the new EU hydropower projects "ETIP Hydropower" and "PEN@Hydropower" will be presented. 

The presentations will be made accessible. Time for questions and discussion will be provided.
