Hydropower Competence Centre (HYCOM)

The ASEAN Hydropower Competence Centre (HYCOM) is an ASEAN-wide competence centre, offering training as well as facilitating research and development to the small-scale hydropower sector, thereby increasing the development of the region’s hydraulic potential in the small-scale size range (<1 Mega Watt). In addition to a variety of targeted training activities, HYCOM supports the hydro industry in developing, testing and improving their products at national, regional and international level. HYCOM offers a basis to capitalise on existing experiences and know-how in the ASEAN countries, to introduce standardised technology packages to mini hydropower (MHP) manufacturers and engineers in order to enable regional and international technology transfer.
