29. Anwenderforum Kleinwasserkraft

By focusing on practical experience and application, the forum fills an important gap in the further development of small-scale hydropower. Another distinctive feature is the cross-border gathering of experts from across the German-speaking Alpine region.

Visions for the future of small-scale hydropower
The Small-Scale Hydropower User Forum is the practical forum for operators, planners and manufacturers of small-scale hydropower plants. Modern small-scale hydropower plants are now capable of generating renewable electricity in a decentralised, efficient and environmentally friendly manner. The ongoing debate shows that we need ideas and strategies on how small-scale hydropower can best establish itself in the economy and society through smart concepts and environmental protection – and it is precisely these that will be discussed at the forum.

The organisers are committed to promoting exchange and strengthening the sense of community within the industry. Look forward to an event offering plenty of opportunities for networking during panel discussions and special sessions, as well as during coffee and lunch breaks and at the joint evening event. Another highlight of the programme is a visit to small hydropower plants in the vicinity of the venue.

For more than 25 years, the Forum has been offering practical specialist presentations of the highest standard, a lively exhibition in the catering area, interactive formats and special highlights in the supporting programme, all of which make a visit an unforgettable experience. The positive atmosphere and the friendly, open interaction on site are what make the event so special.
