13 WEC's latest scenario study Comprises two scenarios: Both are designed to help a range of stakeholders address the energy trilemma, i.e. to achieve environmental sustainability energy security, and energy equity Stories quantified by Paul Scherrer Institute (project partner) World Energy Council /007 gkl 12

14 Deriving the scenario stories Two scenario stories were developed, exploratory not normative, equally probable but differentiated rather than good and bad. Jazz Priority is given to energy equity, with a focus on achieving growth through low-cost energy. Symphony Environmental sustainability and security of supply are being prioritised through internationally co-ordinated politics and instruments. World Energy Council /007 gkl 13

26 Key quantitative hydropower-related findings of the WEC scenarios Global power generation rises by 150 % (Jazz)/123 % (Symphony) by 2050 compared with 2010 Renewables share in power generation increases from 20 % (2010) to 31 % (Jazz)/48 % (Symphony) in 2050 Hydropower will remain the most important renewable source in Jazz sharing this role with solar in Symphony in 2050 (16 % each for hydro and solar in 2050) In Jazz, CO 2 emissions increase until 2040; in Symphony, this trend is reversed from 2020/2025 onwards World Energy Council /007 gkl 25

27 Conclusion Hydropower plays/will continue to play an important role in electricity supply. The contribution of hydropower to electricity generation saved 3.3 billion tons of CO 2 emissions in 2014; from 2015 to 2050 hydropower will help avoid over 120 billion tons of CO 2 emissions. There is still a lot of hydropower potential at global level that can be exploited, which will increase the importance of hydropower in achieving the central energy-policy and climate targets. To meet the sustainability targets, internationally agreed policies as well as market instruments are indispensable. World Energy Council /007 gkl 26
