| Description : |
The reforms introduced by the French law Solidarity and Urban Renewal Urbain (SRU) allow the communities to initiate energy approaches on a territory scale, within a sustainable development view and for energy supply security. The European project SPLASH consists in collaborating with the local communities, associations and electricity producers to integrate on their territories the development of small hydroelectric power plant (SHP), with power ranging from a few tens of kW to a few MW, while limiting the impacts on environment. |
