HYDROPOWER EUROPE’S 2nd Stakeholder Online Consultation is Now Open
HYDROPOWER EUROPE, a multipartner initiative supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme, launched on 28 July 2020 its second online consultation. The consultation aims to establish priorities for the proposed research and innovation actions listed within two strategic documents: the Research & Innovation Agenda and the Strategic Industry Roadmap.
The HYDROPOWER EUROPE (HPE) forum, in which EASE is involved as leader of the consultation process, aims to gather all relevant stakeholders of the hydropower sector to achieve a Research & Innovation Agenda (RIA) and Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR), based on the synthesis of technical fora and transparent public debates.
The main focus in this second consultation round is to gather the feedback from a wide range of hydropower stakeholders on the proposed research and innovation actions (R&I) listed within the two main HPE documents.
This consultation is one of the last opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback and recommendations about the main R&I priorities for the future of hydropower in Europe and how hydropower can contribute to a successful clean energy transition.
Completing the survey will take circa 15 minutes and comprises a review and prioritisation of actions proposed under the RIA and SIR respectively. In this occasion you will also be able to share your opinion on the future of the HYDROPOWER EUROPE Forum!
The consultation process closes at the end of October 2020.

EASE has prepared a position paper on the proposal of the Energy Market Design revision, by outlining the key position of EASE on how to enhance the proposal and make non-fossil flexibility a central component of the new decarbonised energy system. On March 14, 2023, the European Commission released a proposed reform of the Electricity Market Design, which has the potential to significantly impact the energy storage sector.
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the seventh edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES).
