• FP1 Enabling and Competing Technologies

FP1 will provide information about flexibility technologies that together with hydropower will shape the energy mix in the markets for flexibility.

• FP2 Market Design Development

FP2 will assess developments in how power is traded in sequential markets: Day-ahead, intraday and balancing markets; including changes in price areas and congestion management, intraday auctions, and European balancing platforms.

• FP3 Future power price dynamics

The FP3 project aims to investigate the future dynamics of electricity prices in the European and Norwegian markets, focusing on the role of hydropower in providing flexibility and maintaining security of supply.

• FP4 Societal and Environmental Frameworks

FP4 aims to understand how international agreements, European and national regulations and strategies affect hydropower industry and how insights on societal legitimacy will help design more realistic and acceptable policy and technology solutions.

• FP5 Trends in runoff under climate change and effects on hydropower production

In FP5 we will analyze the effects of climate change on hydropower infrastructure and production and assess adaptive strategies that enhance hydropower's role in climate adaptation, such as flood protection and environmental mitigation.
