Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Council
 Hydropower Sustainability
Assessment Council, governed
by a Charter
 Terms and conditions for use
of the Protocol defining official
use
Accredited Assessors
• Only Accredited Assessors (AA)
authorised to use the Protocol
commercially
• Stringent qualifying criteria, training
and systems ensure AA maintain
highest quality of assessments, and
uniformity of results

9. Commercial use of the Protocol
Requirements for Accredited Assessors
 Completion of a programme of training authorised by
the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Council
Obtaining a Licence Agreement which represents an
agreement between the accredited assessor and the
Council regarding the terms and conditions of their
accreditation and commercial use
Adoption of a Code of Ethics and compliance with all
the terms of the Licence Agreement

12. Overview
 Installed capacity of 410 MW
 Power-generating capacity

 3 vertical shaft Francis
turbines
 Gross head 156 m, net head
145.5 .

16. Assessment - Analysis against basic good practice
Biodiversity issues relevant to project implementation and operation have
been identified through an assessment process utilising appropriate
expertise; and monitoring is being undertaken during the project
implementation stage appropriate to the identified issues
• Baseline studies and assessment of
biodiversity as a part of the EIA covering
biodiversity issues
• Necessary updated and complementary
studies
• Appropriate experts
• Undertaken and ongoing surveys
• The project is operating several monitoring
programmes related to biodiversity
• Planning for monitoring of vegetation cover
in the protection zone
Criteria met: Yes

17. Assessment - Analysis against proven best practice
In addition, monitoring of biodiversity issues during project implementation
takes into account inter-relationships amongst issues, and both risks and
opportunities that become evident during implementation
• Monitoring of biodiversity programme regarding the effectiveness
of restoring areas
• Monitoring of measures at sub-catchment level considering other
factors, such as land-use planning
• Monitoring includes interrelationships, such as fish migration and
water quality
• Consideration of other aspects in the decision of biodiversity
mitigation measures
• No assessment of the risk of invasive species
Criteria met: No

18. Outcomes - Analysis against basic good practice
Negative biodiversity impacts arising from project activities are avoided,
minimised, mitigated, and compensated with no significant gaps
• Comprehensive bio-diversity related
programmes that deal with issues identified
during assessment
• Loss of vegetation cover and habitats are
compensated through for example creation
of a protection zone
• Fauna are to be relocated prior to the filling of
the reservoir
• Rehabilitation of sensitive habitats currently
used by protected fauna
• The ability of any upstream fish passage
solution to maintain population levels of fish
communities is unproven considered as non-significant
Criteria met: Yes

19. Outcomes - Analysis against proven best practice
In addition, negative biodiversity impacts arising from project activities are
avoided, minimised, mitigated and compensated with no identified gaps;
and enhancements to pre-project biodiversity conditions or contribution to
addressing biodiversity issues beyond those impacts caused by the project
are achieved or are on track to be achieved
• The ability of any upstream fish passage solution to maintain
population levels of fish communities is unproven
• Biodiversity research
• Environmental awareness
• Aquaculture plant refurbishments
• Re-vegetation in the reservoir protection zone
• Rehabilitation due to slope instability
• Use of local seed and reinstating the presence of native species
• Re-vegetation of banks along tributaries
Criteria met: No
