The hydropower sector, as part of the electric power industry, contributes to the solution
of two important tasks of the energy strategy: reliable and uninterrupted operation of the power
system and low-carbon development of the Russian economy. However, in addition to energy
and environmental functions, hydro power plants form complex socio-economic
effects for the
development of the economy of the regions where they are located and other sectors of the
national economy. A system-based
assessment of the effects associated with the hydroelectric
power plants construction and operation allows a more reasonable approach to decisions on
the implementation of these projects and the scale of their state support, based on a more
complete picture of the costs and benefits for the economy and society. The article considers
the methodological approach developed by the authors to a multi-criteria
assessment of the
effects arising at the stages of construction and operation of hydroelectric power plants and
reflecting in monetary and natural units the impact on the economic, social sphere, contribution
to the achievement of environmental goals and energy security of the plant’s location region. The
results of the approbation are presented on the example of several hydroelectric power plants
included in the General Plan of Electric Power Facilities Allocation.
