Summary
The renowned European hydropower industry and its know-how can foster the transition into a more sustainable energy
system in parts of the world that still need support to develop the sector. While the European hydropower market does not
allow huge developments, some countries present a big potential. HYPOSO will provide strategic support and tools for the
European hydropower industry to boost their export of products and services to markets in Africa and Latin America,
especially those with a high market potential hydro sector, i.e. Bolivia, Cameroon, Columbia, Ecuador and Uganda. The project will
develop solutions which can be easily implemented for overcoming barriers to the broad deployment of hydropower solutions
in these export markets. The consortium will bring representatives of the European hydropower industry together with their
counterparts and politicians from Africa and Latin America. It will provide political, legal, technical and strategic advice while
considering the regional specificities, socio-economic, spatial and environmental aspects all along the life-cycle of
hydropower projects. Experts of the consortium will identify pilot hydropower projects and provide capacity building for local
stakeholders and politicians. Communications activities such as brochures, events, and workshops highlighting European
state-of-the-art technology will complement these measures. Moreover, a website will be created. It will serve as an
information hub for the European hydropower industry and useful source of information for hydropower stakeholders
worldwide. The outcome of the HYPOSO project will contribute to the promotion of the European hydropower industry,
paving the way for better investment conditions in the targeted countries and increasing the share of renewable energy in
these regions. It will support the development of policies, market supports and financial frameworks at the local, national and
regional level for hydropower facilities.
