Beyond Generation: Maximizing Long-Term Benefits and System Performance at Hydropower Upgrades and Retrofit Sites

Retrofitting existing water infrastructure – dams, locks, and conveyance structures - remains a significant frontier for growth in power capacity and generation around the world.
Many of these projects also provide additional benefits for society and the environment, with some achieving certification through rigorous programs administered by the Low Impact Hydropower Institute and the Hydropower Sustainability Alliance. This workshop will increase awareness of these certification processes and highlight successes accomplished by recent projects. All are welcome to attend and a recording of the presentations will be shared after the workshop via the IEA Hydro website.
