Dam Safety

The Dam Safety Programme contributes new knowledge to the strategic work on dam safety and benefits the long-term development of Swedish hydropower production.

For the last twenty years, the programme has been run in collaboration between dam owners and Svenska kraftnät. The aim is to promote the development of dam safety through relevant and urgent development projects, and through knowledge and competence development in the field of dam safety.

The aim is to enable hydropower companies to maintain and further develop a sustainably high level of dam safety. The programme will also provide long-term support for the power industry's dam safety policy and support the continued development of the industry's guidelines, RIDAS.

Andreas Larsson

I work with research and development in Swedish hydropower, with a special focus on dam safety, biodiversity issues, and the National Plan (NAP). Previously, I worked on international development projects related to environment and climate for the UN. Want to really catch my attention? Talk to me about hydropower, the climate transition, the biodiversity crisis—or Gothenburg. The west coast runs in my veins, and I’m happiest when I’m out by the sea.
