SUMMARY:Webinar: The evolving role of hydropower in the energy system
DESCRIPTION:Join the ESMAP Hydropower Webinar Series to explore the latest trends\, opportunities\, and challenges in hydropower development. \n  \nAs the transition towards sustainable energy accelerates\, hydropower is increasingly recognized as a key energy source that enhances power system flexibility\, reliability\, and resilience. With the growing share of variable renewable energy sources like wind and solar\, the need for dispatchable energy to balance power systems has never been greater. \n  \nDuring this first webinar\, you will learn about the evolving role of hydropower in power systems and how it is transitioning from a conventional energy generation role to a critical provider of flexibility and balancing services for modern power systems. You will discover the best strategies for hydropower development\, explore case studies and practical solutions\, examine market trends\, and investigate innovative financial approaches. \n  \nDon’t miss this insightful discussion and be part of the conversation on shaping the future of hydropower in the energy transition. \n  \nOpening Remarks \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBente Brunes\nKlaus Jorde\n\n\n\nSenior Energy Specialist\, ESMAP\, World Bank\nExecutive Committee\, Secretary of IEA Hydro and Director at KJ Consulting\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinn Emelie Schäffer\nElena Vagnoni\nKateryna Kyemele\n\n\nResearch Scientist \nSINTEF Energy Research Norway\nHead of Projects Group Hydraulic Machines \nEPFL \nSwiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne \nSwitzerland\nActing General Manager \nof Strategy \nHydro Tasmania \nAustralia
