hydropower projects added a net 19 GW to the world's generation capacity last year;
small hydro
projects added just under 3 GW net.
While conventional
hydropower will continue to grow as dams are completed in China, Brazil and a scattering of other countries, including Ethiopia, Malaysia, and Turkey, there exists enormous potential for non-conventional hydroelectricity generation from tidal and wave
projects, as well as from
small in - stream
projects that will not require new dams.
The report includes all biomass and waste - to - energy, geothermal, and wind generation
projects of more than 1MW; all
hydropower projects of between 1MW and 50MW; all wave and tidal energy
projects; all biofuel
projects with a capacity of one million liters or more per year; and all solar
projects, with those less than 1MW estimated separately and referred to as
small - scale
projects, or
small distributed capacity.
Growing environmental consciousness and reducing dependency on conventional resources are
projected to foster global
small hydropower market size growth.
In addition, reservoir surface area is likely to increase substantially in coming decades given the 847 large
hydropower projects (more than 100 MW) and 2853
smaller projects (more than 1 MW) that are currently planned or under construction (Zarfl et al. 2015).
