7. Who develops HPP construction project feasibility studies?
Before starting the construction of any HPP, it is necessary to develop a special document, a feasibility study (the “FS”) defining specific location, capacity, and other technical qualities of the future HPP. To develop the FS, the customer (owner of the land plot on which the HPP construction is planned) must enter into the FS development agreement with the organization having relevant experience and qualification. Afterwards, the FS will be used as a basis for drafting the HPP planning documentation.
