Project summary
SEE HYDROPOWER
is based on the European Directive on the promotion of Electricity
from
Renewable Energy Sources (RES-e) respect to the Kyoto protocol targets,
that aims to establish an overall binding target of 20% share of renewable
energy sources in energy consumption and a 10% binding minimum target
for biofuels in transport to be achieved by each Member State, as
well as binding national targets by 2020 in line with the overall
EU target of 20%. Objectives of the SEE HYDROPOWER deals with the
promotion of hydro energy production in SEE countries, by the optimization
of water resource exploitation, in a compatible way with other water
users, and following environmental friendly approaches. Main activities
of the project concerns the definition of policies, methodologies
and tools for a better water & hydropower planning and management;
the establishment of common criteria for preserving water bodies;
to assess strategies to improve hydropower implementation (such as
SHP); testing studies in pilot catchments of partner countries; promotion
and dissemination of project outcomes among target groups all over
the SEE Region countries. The partnership significantly
represents not only the SEE countries but also includes a well balanced
mixing of public administrations (5 partners) & agencies (2 partners)
ruling hydropower development and related water bodies conservation;
and scientific & research institutions (5 partners) having the
most advanced technology and standard background applied to water
management and hydropower generation. All partners have on field specific
experience in their own country issues and represent a wider local/regional
partnership not “formally” involved in the project but strictly connected
to policy and water management. Target groups representatives from
SEE countries are reinforced by the presence of 6 Observer partners
(AHP, ELEM, ESHA, ASSOELE, ENERGAP, APER)..
