Small hydropower roadmap: condensed research data for EU-27
1st January 2012
Topic(s): Domestic policy, Economics, Hydroelectricity
This report provides decision makers with information about the energy sector in the 27 European Union member states. It lists the necessary prerequisites to exploit the full potential of small hydropower through refurbishment and new site development. The report documents the current status, issues and requirements of small hydropower in Europe. It will help decision makers to assess the situation in their country and unlock the potential of small hydropower.

Review of the generation costs and deployment potential of renewable electricity technologies in the UK
1st October 2011
Topic(s): Biofuels / Bioenergy, Economics, Fuel switching, Geothermal energy, Hydroelectricity, Marine energy, Renewables, Solar energy, Wind energy
Arup was appointed by the United Kingdom’s Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) in October 2010 to look at the deployment potential and generation costs of renewable electricity technologies in the UK up to 2030, taking into account sensitivities as to the range of cost inputs, investor behaviour and barriers to deployment. Arup was supported on cost data gathering exercises for some technologies by Ernst and Young (E&Y).

Renewables 2010 global status report
1st September 2010
Topic(s): Domestic policy, Economics, Geothermal energy, Global Status Report, Hydroelectricity, Marine energy, Policy law and regulation, Renewables, Solar energy, Wind energy
Changes in renewable energy markets, investments, industries, and policies have been so rapid in recent years that perceptions of the status of renewable energy can lag years behind the reality. This report captures that reality and provides a unique overview of renewable energy worldwide as of early 2010. The report covers both current status and key trends. By design, the report does not provide analysis, discuss current issues, or forecast the future.

Protecting rivers and rights: the World Commission on Dams recommendations in action briefing kit
1st July 2010
Topic(s): Hydroelectricity, Renewables
The World Commission on Dams (WCD) resulted in guidelines for large dams to protect the rights of river-dependent communities. Ten years later, International Rivers published this briefing kit that provides concrete examples of where and how the WCD principles have been applied, and what happened when they were ignored.
The briefing kit explores six broad principles covered by the WCD, which encompass basic values of human rights and sustainable development that are essential to minimizing the negative impacts of large dams on people and the planet.
The ‘Energy and Water Options’ section includes examples of hydropower projects.
