Simulation results of three future periods, 2019-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100, were compared with the actual state (2006-2014). The results of modelling revealed that there will be a decrease in hydropower energy by about 15 % in the last decade of the 21st Century under RCP8.5 scenario. Based on RCP4.5, an increment of 8 % was simulated for 2019-2040. But in the last period it is with ca. 1 % negligible.
