Sustainability performance

The Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol (HSAP) is an enhanced sustainability assessment tool used to measure and guide performance in the hydropower sector.

The Protocol:

  • Is a framework for assessing the sustainability of hydropower projects
  • Distils hydropower sustainability into more than 20 clearly-defined topics
  • Provides a consistent, globally applicable methodology
  • Is governed by a multi-stakeholder council
  • Is regulated by a charter and terms and conditions of use

The produced sustainability profile is compared to what is internationally regarded as basic good practice (score 3) and proven best practice (score 5). Please see an exemplary result of an HSAP application below.
