For the first time, ETIP HYDROPOWER, represented by Anton Schleiss from the Secretariat, participated in a SET-Plan conference. The theme of the event was Scaling Up Research, Innovation, and Competitiveness in Clean Energy Technologies.

In terms of technology, the conference focused almost exclusively on wind and solar energy during the parallel sessions, with some attention given to nuclear energy and batteries. Unfortunately, hydropower was not mentioned during the official high-level opening or the high-level plenary session.

Following the official recognition of ETIP HYDROPOWER, we hope to raise awareness of the importance of hydropower at the next SET-Plan Conference in 2025.
