| description |
As a mature technology, hydropower
has by far the largest installed capacity of any renewable
source of electricity generation. In 1998, in the face of
escalating pressure, the World Commission on Dams (WCD) was
established by the World Bank and the International Union
for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to review the development
effectiveness of large dams and establish a comprehensive
set of guidelines for the design, implementation, and
operation of dams and their decommissioning. Following the
final report of the WCD, the hydropower industry took many
steps to operationalize its key recommendations and to
improve environmental and social management of hydropower
globally. In an effort to improve its performance and
provide a consistent approach for assessment, the industry
partnered with civil society, policymakers, and financiers
around the principles of sustainable hydropower. The output
of this process is the multi-stakeholder hydropower
sustainability assessment protocol (hereafter referred to as
the protocol).The main purpose of this report is to reflect
on the applicability of the protocol in developing country
contexts, based on the available cases, and offer direction
on how it can be used to improve the performance of
hydropower projects in World Bank client countries. This
report also seeks to clarify the complementarity of the
protocol with respect to World Bank policies and procedures
and provide input as to the World Bank s role in the
governance of the protocol. The lessons and recommendations
presented in this report are based on a desk review of
previous protocol assessments; consultation with World Bank
staff; structured interviews with accredited assessors and
developers from previous assessments; as well as direct
observations during the pilot assessment of the Trung Son
Hydropower Project in Vietnam. |
