The registration for the 3rd edition of the Brussels Hydropower Day 2025 is now open!

This key event aims to bring together stakeholders from the hydropower sector and policymakers from the European Commission and Parliament. It will serve as a vital platform to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping hydropower deployment within the broader energy transition.

Join us to explore the impact of the energy crisis, climate change, market dynamics, and regulatory frameworks on the future of hydropower. Your insights and expertise will help drive meaningful discussions on navigating uncertainties and maximising hydropower’s role in Europe’s sustainable energy future.

Why attend?

• Gain insights into the role of hydropower and energy storage in the energy transition and the impact of the 2025-2029 EU legislative cycle on the sector.
• Explore best practices in hydropower deployment, focusing on flexibility, social and environmental considerations, and climate resilience.
• Engage in discussions on collaboration with other ETIPs and sectors within the SET Plan to enhance energy system integration and ensure a flexible, secure energy supply.
• Stay informed about ETIP HYDROPOWER’s next steps in unifying the voices of hydropower in Europe and the key outcomes of its Working Groups.
