  2. RESTOR Hydro Project in Italy: looking for old mills! Iulca Collevecchio APER REScoop 20-20-20: Italian National Workshop Bolzano, 8th May 2013 www.restor-hydro.eu

  3. General Info www.restor-hydro.eu • coordinator: ESHA • partners(11): Nettowatt (BE), HEB (SI), NTUA (GR), WIP (DE), FHE (FR), SVAF (SE), TRMEW (PL), Edora (BE), LHA (LT), APER (IT) • duration: June 2012 – June 2015 • website: www.restor-hydro.eu

  4. Starting points www.restor-hydro.eu • unrealized potential for small and micro hydropower generation exists in Europe’s thousands of historic mills, water wheels, inoperative hydropower stations, weirs and other lateral structures in rivers • repowering abandoned sites results in the generation of hydroelectric power, both for local use and for injection to the European electrical grid. This simultaneously leads to increasing electricity production from renewable sources, energy independence and grid stability

  5. Generale objective www.restor-hydro.eu Demonstrate the attractiveness of small hydropower as a local investment vehicle, bringing revenue to local communities and contributing to energy independence, while preserving our historical heritage and the environment.

  6. Innovative approach www.restor-hydro.eu • Cooperative model • cooperatives increase the bankability of restoration projects • small and micro hydropower cooperatives bring new dynamismto localcommunities Win-winstrategy!

  7. Main tasks www.restor-hydro.eu • Mapping of the sites  RESTOR Hydro Map • Implementation of restoration programmes in 8 selected target countries: Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia and Sweden. • Encouraging and sustaining the creation of SHP cooperatives

  8. The RESTOR Hydro MAP http://www.restor-hydro.eu/tools/mills-map www.restor-hydro.eu is a tool which provides authoritative information on the hydropower potential of historic sites, covering the entire EU-27 region. it enables to identify the location and outline the characteristics of up to 50,000 sites, facilitatingprojectdevelopment

  9. HYDI database RESTOR Hydro enhances the Stream Map project, which gathers detailed energy, market and policy data into the HYDI (Hydro Data Initiative) central database, which is free of access to the public. The RESTOR Hydro project benefits from the information collected within the HYDI database; at the same time it contributes to the Stream Map initiative, providing detailed mapping of historic sites with high micro hydropower potential in the EU. www.restor-hydro.eu

  10. The RESTOR Hydro MAP www.restor-hydro.eu

  11. Other deliverables www.restor-hydro.eu guidelines on howto establish small and micro hydropower cooperativeswith a community shares ownership guidelines for SHP refurbishment (technicalaspects, administrativeissues, financingopportunities) update of StreamMapprojectHYDI database (energy, policy, market)

  12. Italy! www.restor-hydro.eu So far:  ≈ 500 millsmapped! • ≈ 10 possiblesites for restorationprogramsidentified • involvment of environmentalassociations (Legambiente), small HP companies spacialized in millsrestoration and cooperatives (Retenergie)

  13. Italy! Looking for OLD MILLS campaign: Help us to find and map old mills and other sites! www.restor-hydro.eu
