Assessment overview
Semla IV is a relatively small project, with limited environmental and social impacts. In many respects, maintaining the character of the river and its amenity value in this location requires the rehabilitation of the existing facilities. The performance of the project in relation to the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol reflects both E.ON’s well-established corporate policies and processes, and the small size of the project. Corporate policies and processes ensure that the project meets or exceeds basic good practice in all but one topics (P-10 Project Benefits), and in some meets proven best practice.
