THE AQUA~MEDIA HYDRO EVENTS
The annual conferences organized by Hydropower & Dams are the world’s most
international events held in Europe for the hydropower profession. HYDRO 2011, which
took place in Prague, Czech Republic, in October, attracted more than 1300 participants
representing 75 countries.
The emphasis each year is on encouraging the advancement of carefully planned hydro
plants in the less developed countries of Africa and Asia, where there is vast unexploited
potential, and the greatest need for new capacity. Technical sessions are complemented by
high-level panel discussions, debates, inter-active workshops and side events.
The events are co-hosted by the national power authority of the host country, and supported
by the major international and national energy and water-related professional associations,
such as ICOLD, IEA, WEC, ICID, IWRA, ESHA and BHA, as well as the World Bank, African
Development Bank, EIB, the Asian Development Bank and others.
Past events have taken place in: Budapest (1994); Barcelona (1995); Lausanne (1996);
Portoroz (1997); Aix en Provence (1998); Gmunden (1999); Bern (2000); Riva del Garda (2001);
Kiris (2002); Dubrovnik (2003); Porto (2004); Villach (2005); Porto Carras (2006); Granada
(2007); Ljubljana (2008); Lyon (2009); Lisbon (2010); and Prague (2011).
HYDRO 2012 MISSION
As policy makers begin to take a more positive view of hydropower, and new hydro projects are
going ahead in the places where they are most urgently needed, our HYDRO 2012 conference will
make a contribution to the major task of turning policies into practice.
These aims will be achieved through papers carefully selected by the International Steering
Committee, working closely with the H&D team, and by the arrangement of a broad range of
sessions, panel discussions and workshops.
The Iberian peninsular is currently one of the most active regions of Europe concerning hydro,
particularly pumped-storage, development. Many upgrade schemes are also underway, and one of
Europe’s first commercial wave powerplants is in operation in the Bay of Biscay.
We look forward to welcoming delegations from more than 80 countries, as well as high level
representatives of the financial community, and the water-related professional associations.
SESSIONS AND PANELS
Parallel sessions will be held on technical, financial/economic, and environmental/social
aspects. Large and small hydro will be covered, along with associated civil engineering
challenges. Interactive discussion will be encouraged through panels and workshops.
As in previous years, the leading countries of the world for hydropower development, such as
China, India, Russia, Iran, Vietnam, Brazil, Canada, and many others, will be well represented,
which will lead to a constructive international exchange of experience.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
•All those active in advancing world hydropower, through research, planning, project
financing, design and construction, operation and maintenance, upgrading and refurbishment.
•Others advising on specialized aspects such as environmental protection, stakeholder
dialogue, safety enhancement, software for planning, maximizing economic benefits.
•University lecturers and students, who together will ensure that hydropower expertise
is sustainable, and accessible in all parts of the world.
ACCOMMODATION
Rooms are being reserved for HYDRO 2012 participants at a number of selected hotels close
to the Euskalduna Congress Centre. The main 5* hotel, adjacent to the Congress Centre,
is the elegant Melia, designed by a Mexican architect. Rooms will be available at hotels in
all categories, all in walking distance of Euskalduna and of the centre of town.
AMI HYDROPOWER FOUNDATION
The AMI Hydropower Foundation was created in 2007 to assist the participation of delegates
from the less developed countries to our annual Hydro Conferences. Revenue from each year’s
conference is transferred into the Foundation, and additional contributions are received from
companies and individuals in the profession. This is an independent charitable foundation,
governed by a board of international trustees. If you or your company would like to co-sponsor
participants from one of the less developed countries, you can find more details about the
Foundation on our website: www.hydropower-dams.com

HYDRO 2012 VENUE
The Hydropower & Dams team is delighted to welcome the world hydropower community
to the elegant city of Bilbao, Spain for HYDRO 2012.
The city, which hosts the prestigious Guggenheim Museum, is the capital of Biscay in the
Basque Country of Spain. It achieved city status in 1300 at the same time as it was granted
control of the maritime traffic entering its estuary. Bilbao retains elements of its historic
past, but having undergone a major revitalization, is today characterized by modern cultural
centres, art galleries, world class restaurants, and a state-of-the-art congress centre,
the design of which echoes the city’s long history of shipbuilding.
Iberdrola, which is headquartered in Bilbao, is the largest hydro company in Spain and is
currently investing €9 billion in developing hydropower projects and other renewable
energy sources.
SOCIAL PROGRAMME
ACCESS
The city of Bilbao, on the northwest
coast of Spain, between the
Cantabrian mountains and the
Pyrenees, is easily accessible from all
parts of the world. The international
airport, located 9 km north of the city,
is served by many major airlines,
such as Iberia, Air France, Lufthansa,
TAP Portugal, Air Berlin, Air Europe,
Brussels Air, and EasyJet.
There are also excellent road and rail
links with the major European cities.
The Euskalduna Congress Centre
is in the centre of town, close to all
hotels and to the Guggenheim
museum.
The Welcome Reception will take place at the Alhóndiga centre for art and culture, well
known for its large ornate pillars, and its modern art gallery. The building was originally a
wine warehouse, designed by the Basque architect Ricardo Bastida in collaboration with
Thibaut Matthieu. Today it is a multipurpose venue, redesigned in modernist style by French
designer Philippe Starck. As well as the art gallery, which can be visited during our
Reception, there is a library, small studios, cafés and other cultural facilities.
The HYDRO 2012 Conference Dinner will be an exceptional gastronomic experience, in the
elegant Azurmendi restaurant, which is the proud holder of 2 Michelin stars. World famous
Basque chef Eneko Atxa (see photo above right) is considered an important reference in
international haute cuisine. The Azurmendi complex has the largest txakoli wine cellar of
Biscaya, and delegates will have a chance to taste the finest of these wines before dinner.
The restaurant is based on a concept of sustainable development, including extensive use of
solar power, recycling of rainwater, and the use of home-grown organic vegetables.
TOURS AND EXCURSIONS
A pre-conference tour, available to all participants on the day of registration (Sunday 28th
October) will provide an opportunity to see the main sights of the city, including a visit to the
famous Guggenheim museum.
Accompanying persons will be offered three excursions, including the opportunity to
visit the old and new quarters of Bilbao, and surrounding places of interest, such as the
picturesque coastal town of San Sebastian, and the monasteries of La Rioja.
A short excursion will be offered to the Mutriku wave power scheme, on Spain’s west coast
not far from Bilbao. A post conference tour is also being planned to La Muela pumpedstorage
plant, which is undergoing a major upgrade with the addition of four new 210 pumpturbines.
The project, near Valencia, has a number of innovative features.
The 6th International Symposium on RCC Dams will take place in Zaragoza just before HYDRO
2012, and we are working in collaboration with SPANCOLD to facilitate arrangements for those
who wish to attend both events. SPANCOLD has organized a tour to RCC dams which will
follow the RCC meeting, and end in Bilbao, in time to register for HYDRO 2012.

SESSION AND PANEL TOPICS
Papers submitted for the Conference are currently (May 2012) being reviewed, and the technical
programme will be announced shortly. Some highlights this year will include:
• a panel discussion and two technical sessions on current pumped-storage developments
• three panels led by IEA Hydro, covering: research on carbon emissions from reservoirs;
hydropower services; and powerplant upgrades
• a discussion on hydro as part of national industrial heritage
• a workshop on alkali aggregate reaction in concrete
