Summary
A new support programme launched recently in Upper Austria supports green electricity project implementation. One part of the programme is dedicated to support small hydro power plants, especially in their renovation efforts. There are about 526 small hydro power plants in operation in the region of Upper Austria, many of them with significant renovation potential. In the framework of the OPET RES-e project, a number of information activities to promote the programme were carried out by O.Ö. Energiesparverband. Additionally, plant owners can get free energy advice by O.Ö. Energiesparverband. So far, more than 300 of the 526 plant owners have applied for an €energy advice session' and the 64 investment projects have been completed, leading to an average increase in the electricity output of 15%.
This case study is one of 31 Good Practice Case Studies published by the OPET Network in 2005
