Small hydropower, also known as mini hydropower, involves the generation of electricity through running water, i.e., flowing rivers, streams, and waterfalls. It yields clean and renewable energy without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Various countries are focusing on developing distributed renewable energy resources to achieve the twin goals of energy security and curbing environmental pollution. Small hydropower is cost-effective compared to large-scale hydroelectric projects and provides opportunities for rural electrification as plants can be located close to places of consumption. Government incentives and policies supporting renewable power along with growing concerns about climate change are fueling investments in small hydropower projects around the world. However, high upfront capital costs remain a key challenge for widespread adoption.

Market Dynamics

The global small hydropower market is driven by various factors such as supportive government policies and incentives aimed at facilitating adoption of clean energy technologies, growing emphasis on decentralized power generation to meet rising energy demand, and need to reduce dependence on conventional sources. However, high initial investments and lack of adequate financing mechanisms in some regions poses a challenge to market growth. Meanwhile, ongoing research & development activities to lower installation costs through technology innovations as well as increased private sector participation present new opportunities. Governments are making efforts to address the financing bottlenecks which will further encourage small hydropower investments going ahead.
