Public Consultation on HSS Assessment
Hydropower Sustainability Alliance is a global, multi-stakeholder non-profit that unites representatives from governments, industry, civil society, and financial institutions to drive sustainability in the hydropower sector. HSA oversees the Hydropower Sustainability Standard, an assessment and certification framework that evaluates and enhances the ESG performance of hydropower projects worldwide.
The Hydropower Sustainability Standard (HS Standard) assesses projects across 12 environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sections at two performance levels: good practice and best practice. Each topic has its own principle and scope statements to provide clarity on the intent and desired outcomes of the topic assessment.

An independent assessment was conducted by a team of Accredited Assessors. The assessment process involves collecting objective evidence from a variety of sources to provide an unbiased and evidence-based evaluation of the project's sustainability performance according to the performance requirements of the HS Standard. As part of the HS Standard certification process, the preliminary assessment report is required to undergo a 60-day public consultation period, allowing all stakeholders to provide comments and feedback on its findings.
The public consultation period for the Preliminary Assessment Report of Boz-Uchuk HPP is open from October 12 to December 10, 2026.
The Russian translation of the report is provided for reference purposes. In the event of any discrepancy, the English version shall prevail.
