To develop France\u2019s hydroelectric capacity, MP Rapha\u00ebl Schellenberger (Les R\u00e9publicains \u2013 right-wing) tabled a bill in late March that would \u201cdraw attention\u201d to a decarbonised energy that still has significant untapped potential, he told EURACTIV.<\/p>\n<p>Electricity sector players agree. There is potential equivalent to 20% of France\u2019s current hydroelectric production, which is the equivalent, in terms of consumption, of \u201ccoal and gas imports this winter [2022-2023]\u201d, Jean-Marc L\u00e9vy, secretary general of France Hydro \u00c9lectricit\u00e9 (FHE), the union of hydroelectric power plant operators, said on Franceinfo.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, 2,500 hydro-powerplants \u2013 including 2,270 of less than 10 megawatts (MW) \u2013 have a total installed capacity of more than 25 GW and provide 10-14% of French electricity production each year. After nuclear power, it is the second largest energy source in the French electricity mix. It is also the largest hydroelectric park in the EU. At the European level, hydroelectric power plants account for about 17% of electricity capacity. Reservoirs or pumped storage systems also constitute 90% of the EU\u2019s electricity storage capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eceee.org\/all-news\/news\/news-2023\/hydropower-eu-energy-transitions-other-sticking-point\/\">ECEEE<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/hydropower-eu-energy-transitions-other-sticking-point\/\">Hydropower: EU energy transition\u2019s other sticking point<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[482,575,274,972],"class_list":["post-114019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-energy","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu","tag-transition"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114019\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
