Growth came from components, not complete turbines
Comparable parts imports increased 28.99% to €21.66 million, while complete-turbine imports declined across all three capacity classes.
The comparison bridges CN 84109000 in 2025 to CN 84109010, 84109020 and 84109090 in 2026. No individual rotor or stator YoY is claimed.
What does the hydropower scope cover?
Complete hydraulic turbines under CN 84101100, 84101200 and 84101300, plus the applicable parts classifications.
Scope limitation: The dataset does not measure total EU hydropower investment, installed capacity, generation or production. Parts are comparable only at aggregate bundle level.
H1 2025 vs H1 2026
Import value increased from €19.45 million to €23.09 million. Net mass increased from 1.55 million to 1.83 million kilograms.
Methodology & source
Extra-EU imports of hydraulic turbines and water wheels under CN codes 84101100, 84101200 and 84101300, plus associated parts. For H1 2025, parts are classified under CN 84109000. For H1 2026, the parts classification is split into CN 84109010, 84109020 and 84109090. For comparable H1 2025 vs H1 2026 parts analysis, the 2025 aggregate is compared with the sum of the three 2026 successor codes.
2026 figures currently cover January through June. Trade statistics may be revised by Eurostat after initial publication. No total-market size is inferred.
