With a production of more than 342 TWh – around 35.5 % of the electricity generated from renewable energy sources – hydropower makes a significant contribution to achieving…

… the EU target of 34 % of electricity generation from renewable energy sources by 2020, referring to the actual figures of VGB PowerTech e.V.. So, hydropower is not only a reliable, climate-­friendly and very efficient renewable energy source, but also the frontrunner in Europe in the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources, playing a promising and multifunctional role as an enabler of the energy transition.

On November 29th and 30th, RENEXPO® INTERHYDRO, Europe´s meeting point for hydropower, will focus on the general conditions and current trends in hydropower, as well as economic efficiency and ecological aspects. The trade fair and conference in Salzburg will again offer a unique platform for presentations and knowledge exchange as well the chance to create new contacts
