Zusammenfassung:	The energy sector can be affected by changing climate conditions through many ways, either for the better or for the worse. Renewable energy endowments refer to a flux of energy, which is closely related to climate conditions. For this reason, it can be expected that climate change may affect renewable sources more intensively than fossil one. The amount of electricity that can be generated from hydropower plants depends not only on the installed generation capacity, but also on the variation in water inflows to the power plants reservoirs.
