The ambitious energy targets in Europe require a series of changes towards the adoption of cleaner and low-carbon energy generation. Despite its development potential, hydropower faces a series of environmental, societal, technological and commercial challenges that require new approaches.
The new ETIP hydropower will integrate the results drawn from the Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR) and the Research and Innovation Agenda (RIA), created under the H2020 project Hydropower Europe, into the SET Plan roadmap. More than 600 stakeholders participated in several consultation processes which brought to life 18 research themes and 11 strategic directions.
The project will seek to consolidate the current network of more than 600 representatives from all the value chain of the sector into a sustainable association that will become the common and permanent voice of hydropower in Europe. It also aims to cooperate with similar fora to enhance joint implementation of activities supporting EU energy transition.

“ETIP Hydropower is at the forefront of driving Europe towards its ambitious clean energy targets. While hydropower presents immense potential, it also confronts a spectrum of challenges spanning environmental, societal, technological, and commercial domains, necessitating fresh perspectives”
