UNIFYING THE VOICES OF HYDROPOWER
HYDROPOWER DAY: The added value of the hydropower sector as a catalyst and enabler in the clean and safe energy transition under the energy crisis
The BRUSSELS HYDROPOWER DAY 2023 will take place next 25 April 2023. It aims to provide a platform for decision makers in the European Commission and Parliament, who are working on relevant policy files concerning hydropower. The purpose is to discuss opportunities and barriers affecting hydropower deployment in the framework of the energy transition within the energy crisis and the market as well as regulation conditions.
Why attend?
- Find out more about the added value of hydropower and energy storage in the energy transition, within the energy crisis and regulation conditions
- Learn about best practice in hydropower deployment with examples of market design, flexibility and biodiversity requirements
- Join the discussion about cooperation with other ETIPs/sectors within the SET Plan on approaches to ensure energy system integration and a flexible safe energy supply.
- Be informed about the next steps of ETIP HYDROPOWER towards “Unifying the voices of hydropower in Europe”.
