    The dataset “RoRCC” consists of simulation-based results on climate change impacts on Alpine RoR power production; it is based on 21 Swiss RoR power plants, with a total production of 5.9 TWh a-1. The dataset contains the following information: - metadata on the RoR power plants under consideration - annual and seasonal production scenarios differentiated into three emission scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5) and three future periods (T1: 2020–2049, T2: 2045–2074, T3: 2070–2099) - annual and seasonal production loss due to environmental flow requirements - annual and seasonal the technical increase potential (via design discharge optimisation) - annual and seasonal changes in the hydrological cycle for the three emission scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5) and three future periods (T1: 2020–2049, T2: 2045–2074, T3: 2070–2099)
