Abstract: Hydropower will continue to play an important role in the future in the energy balance, but the rarefaction of sites, particularly in countries with long-established hydropower programmes, means that hydropower production cannot be expected to grow at a rate commensurate with future electricity needs.

Keywords: long-term prospects; hydropower; European energy balance; Europe.
