Governments have an opportunity to work with industry and communities to accelerate the energy transition:
Here are five ways governments can build a secure, green energy system:
1. Increase the ambition of renewable energy and climate goals by setting targets that support hydropower alongside wind and solar.
2. Ensure policy and market mechanismsare in place to develop clean energy storage and flexibility in renewable energy systems.
3. Offer financial incentivestosupport sustainable hydropower such as long-term power purchase agreements or feed-in tariffs.
4. Explore ways to integrate and expand renewables, such as adding solar photovoltaics to reservoirs, modernising existing plants, or retrofitting non-powered dams with hydropower.
5. Promote the exchange of knowledge and good practices to ensure that all energy developments are delivered sustainably.
