The cost-covering feed-in remuneration for electricity from renewable sources has stimulated numerous projects for small hydropower plants in Switzerland which must be assessed in terms of electricity generation, water protection and landscape conservation. These implementation recommendations are intended to support the cantons in this task. They contain ecological, energetic and economic criteria which should be considered when balancing the conservation and exploitation interests.
