Georgia and Norway – two hydropower countries
About 80 percent of Georgia’s electricity demand is covered by local hydropower plants. The construction of hydro power plants in Georgia has a long tradition, which has been reactivated in recent years. Both large power plants with reservoirs and small hydropower plants are under construction or being planned.

Norway has a long tradition in developing hydropower. Hydropower is
the mainstay of the Norwegian electricity system. Norway has 1660
hydropower plants, which accounts for 31 837 or 96 % of total installed
capacity. Norway and NTNU has developed competence at the highest
international level within environmentally friendly development and
operation of hydropower plants.
International master’s degree programme in Hydropower Development
NTNU’s International master's degrees are programmes taught
entirely in English. The master’s degree programme in hydropower extends
over two academic years (4 semesters) and constitutes a course load of
120 ECTS credits. The programme is open to both international and
Norwegian students.
The programme in hydropower development is run by The Department of
Civil and Environmental Engineering. Students and researchers graduating
from the department’s programs provide both the public and private
sectors with expertise and skills in the areas of civil and
transportation engineering, structural engineering, water and wastewater
engineering, and hydraulic engineering.
