Hydro4U will employ demonstration activities and planning activities as a two-fold approach to elaborate, demonstrate and disseminate reproducible ecologically, economically and socio-politically sustainable solutions. This broader focus allows Hydro4U to target most of the unexploited small-scale hydropower potential, ranging from low to medium heads. Hydro4U will develop, demonstrate and assess innovative, modular and standardised hydropower solutions for both low-head and medium-head application. In addition to direct market access for the participating project partners, Hydro4U will facilitate market access for European hydropower manufacturers and service providers in Central Asia as a whole.
