Our Hydropower Sustainability Standard Assessment is a comprehensive service designed to evaluate and enhance the sustainability performance of hydropower projects. Utilising the internationally recognised Hydropower Sustainability Standard, our assessment encompasses a rigorous appraisal of environmental, social, economic, and technical aspects of a hydropower project, reviewing how a project compares to global best practices.

Why you need this

Will your hydropower project deliver on all sustainability expectations? Recent data shows only 35% of hydropower projects demonstrate comprehensive sustainability currently. What if you could get an objective sustainability rating for your project even before construction starts?

We have assessed over 20 projects so far on all parameters of environment, social, technical and financial sustainability. With assessors accredited for the Standard since inception, we offer unmatched expertise on emerging sustainability expectations.
