Climate change may be considered relevant for hydropower production schemes all over the world. Despite this, the assessment of the impact of climate change on hydropower is uncertain and must be interpreted with that in mind. The paper focuses on the Namakhvani HPP (400 MW), a new project under development in the Rioni River, in Georgia. Using it as an example, the paper emphasizes the critical role that is played by uncertainty in climate impact risk assessments and explores the interpretation of simulation results, providing ways in which they can be transformed in actionable information for decision-making.
Résumé
Les changements climatiques peuvent être considérés importants pour des aménagements hydroélectriques autour du globe. Néanmoins, l’évaluation des impacts de ces changements est incertaine et doit être interprétée comme tel. L’article se focalise sur le projet Namakhvani HPP (400 MW), un nouvel aménagement en cours de développement sur le fleuve Rioni, en Géorgie. En prenant l’exemple de Namakhvani, l’article met en évidence le rôle joué par l’incertitude dans les évaluations des risques liés aux changements climatiques et explore comment les résultats des simulations peuvent être interprétés de manière à les transformer en information utile pour la prise de décision.
