Stream Map is a project co-ordinated by ESHA and co-funded by the IEE Programme of the European Commission under the responsibility of the EACI. It will run from 2009 until 2012.

What is the Stream Map?

The objective is to create a Roadmap for the future of the SHP sector with a view of the 20% targets settled in the RES Directive by:

  1. Creating a central database HYDI which will compile the relevant information on Hydropower for the EU-27 as from 2007 on annual basis.
  2. Analyzing the current status of the sector.
  3. Drawing recommendations for the future development of the sector.
  4. Influencing National Renewable Energy Action Plans on the RES mix.
  5. Offering regular advice and information at local and national level on the sector development and needs.
