Supporting the EU's targets for 2030 wants to show how modern hydroelectric power plants can provide the vital services required by any country that invests in variable renewable energies such as solar and wind energy. Its aim is to help the EU reach the target of 32% of energy from renewable sources by 2030.
The XFLEX HYDRO project will test innovative solutions based on renewable energy sources that will provide greater flexibility and sustainability to the energy system. The project aims to increase the potential of hydropower in terms of plant efficiency, thereby boosting electric power systems and enabling plant and system operators to operate more successfully in electricity markets. This can make a powerful contribution to Europe's renewable energy objectives and policies.
