Small Hydro Power Supports in Armenia by OSCE Development OSCE Supports Development of Small Hydro Power Sector in Armenia   A new project involving the OSCE Office in Yerevan to develop the Armenian small hydro power (SHP) sector, promoting environmental sustainability and energy security, was launched in Yerevan today.        The OSCE Office inYerevan, together with the Armenian Ministry of Territorial Administration, will co-chair a working group under the project, which envisages to assess environmental and social impact of Small Hydro Power SHPs, help train the sector representatives, and develop a sample hydro energy project. “Diversifying energy sources is crucial to ensure energy security,” said Carel Hofstra, Acting Head of the OSCE Office inYerevan. “Development of small scale hydro power stations is a priority of Armenia that we support. In order to guarantee long-lasting economic benefits and sustainable development for the country, it is important to consider environmental and social impacts of using renewable energy sources, and the new small scale hydro power project will help the authorities in this.” The OSCE co-chaired working group uniting representatives of the Armenian Ministries of Nature Protection, Territorial Administration, Energy, as well as civil society and experts, will look at the application of new environmental and social standards for Small Hydro Power SHPs, and discuss such matters as environmental and social impact assessments and ways to increase constructive public participation. The Small Hydro Power project will run until 2014. It is funded by the Norwegian Foreign Ministry and implemented by Norsk Energi consultancy. http://www.archimedeshydroscrew.com/small-hydro-power-supports-in-armenia-by-osce-development/ http://www.archimedeshydroscrew.com/small-hydro-power-supports-in-armenia-by-osce-development/ http://www.archimedeshydroscrew.com   Read more at dabasiah.posterous.com
