La petite hydroélectricité dans la politique française des énergies renouvelables
Small hydropower in the context of French renewable energy policy
Agence de l'Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l'Energie, ADEME
Abstract
Renewable Energy sources are available for a large development in the world. They are local sources, their technologies are mature and make no gas pollution. There is an important potential and only a little part of if is exploited. Referrig to small hydro, 500 TWh are avalaible and only 80 are harnessed.
In France, there are 2500 professionals, and the turnover of consultants and industrials (excluding the sale of electricity) is about 400 M FFR.
Within an international context where countries try to reduce pollution and the emission of greenhouse effect gases, the French government decided to relaunch energy savings and renewable energy urces. Regarding small hydro, it is planned to develop environement friendly operations: refurbishment, upgrading, enviromnental labels and alsa to lend a support to export.
