| Benefits: |
The action will facilitate access to information on different issues related to SHP, thus increasing the awareness of the stakeholders on current barriers, challenges and needs for the future development of the sector, eventually supporting them in the definition of national roadmaps for SHP.

The action aims at defining a clear and consistent Stream Map for the small hydropower sector (SHP: Small HydroPower refers to hydropower plants with an installed capacity of 10 MW) in Europe, applicable to the current prospects of the ongoing EU Energy and Climate Packet regulations based on the real situation of the SHP sector at present and the recommendations for the future. In view of the application of the RES Directive and the National Action Plans that need to be submitted by EU Member States to the European Commission by June 2010, it is of high need to promote an EU action on the relevance of this sector as contributor to 2020 targets. In order to reach this goal, the project will set-up a central database of data on hydropower (HYDI, Hydro Data Initiative), which will include the most relevant information on the sector. |
- The action will group the sectors' needs, barriers and challenges in a common, centralised, accurate and realistic way offering a valuable reference in terms of monitoring the success of the RES-Directive implementation and the targets set for 2020.
- The action will support the gathering of reliable data of the hydropower technology including quantifications of each market, potential, trends, installed capacity, energy production, fees, prices, capital and operation and maintenance costs, timeframes and rates of projects approvals in the context of the concessions and the authorisation process.
- This collection of data and information will be done in a concentrated and concise way by making use of a database on hydro information, HYDI (Hydro Data Initiative).
- Publication of a Stream Map for SHP, supporting national and local policymakers in view of the application of the RES Directive and the National Action Plans that need to be submitted by EU Member States.
- Targeted dissemination orf the results and achievements of the project (e.g. database) as well as well structured promotional activities to maximise the EU impact.

- The action has just started.
