Evaluation of the cost structure of Small Hydropower
Plants (SHP) in Switzerland
The Programm SwissEnergy of the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) has supported the assessment of more than 600 potential SHP sites in Switzerland. The project “Evaluation of the cost structure of Small Hydropower Plants (SHP) in Switzerland” examined the produced reports, extracted relevant data and summarised them in an overview, which allows further analysis and data processing.
