Small
Hydropower Market: Introduction
The global
small hydropower market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 2.5% during
the forecast period. In terms of installed capacity, the small hydropower
market is projected to develop installed capacity 170.8
GW by 2030, rising from a net capacity of 130.4
GW in 2019. In terms of capacity, the above 10
MW segment accounted for a major share of the global small hydropower market in 2019.
The expansion of the segment can be attributed to the introduction of several
projects with capacities above 10 MW.
Major Drivers of Small Hydropower
Market
The
consumption of electricity has been increasing significantly across the globe
for the last few years due to rapid industrialization & urbanization and
strong economic growth. The increase in demand for electricity and stringent
norms & government regulations to minimize carbon emissions from the power
sector are compelling companies to introduce highly effective and pollution-free
energy generation methods. Small hydropower is a prominent alternative to
fossil fuel, as these plants utilize moving water for power generation. Small
hydropower is primarily employed in isolated regions. Small hydropower is
a suitable option to generate sustainable as well as inexpensive energy in
developing and rural areas due to its low investment costs, versatility, and
renewable nature. Thus, increase in harnessing of hydropower resources across
the globe is expected to drive the global small hydropower market during the
forecast period.

Prominent Developments in Small
Hydropower Market
In December
2018, Voith won an order to design, manufacture, supply, and commission two
StreamDivers for the small hydropower plant Gradiste in Macedonia, Europe. The
company is also expected to supply gate valves and supervise installation. The
power plant is likely to become operational in 2020.
Asia Pacific Leads Small Hydropower
Market
Asia
Pacific dominated the global small hydropower market in 2019. China held a
major share of the small hydropower market in the region in 2019. The dominance
of China in the small hydropower market in Asia Pacific can be
ascribed to low investment and risk, long service life, consistent profit, and
low operation cost of a small hydropower plant. Furthermore, abundant
availability of hydropower resources, along with increase in efforts in
utilization of renewable technologies to reduce carbon emissions is also a
major factor attracting investment for the development of small hydropower
resources across the country. The small hydropower market in North America is
anticipated to expand during the forecast period, owing to ongoing investments
in the development of small hydropower plants, primarily in the U.S., in
order to cater to a rise in the demand for electricity. In 2019, the U.S.
Department of Energy announced to invest US$ 24.9 Mn to
drive innovative, industry-led technology solutions to advance the marine and
hydrokinetics industry, and increase in ability of hydropower to serve as a
flexible grid resource.
More Trending Reports
The small
hydropower market in Europe is estimated to expand during the forecast period,
owing to the introduction of several incentives to promote the adoption of
renewable technologies. For instance, in December 2019, the European Commission
and a consortium of 19 partners launched
the four-year XFLEX HYDRO (Hydropower Extending Power System Flexibility)
project at the ongoing United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference (COP25) in
Madrid, Spain. Turkey accounted for a major share of the small hydropower
market in the region in 2019. Turkey held hydropower capacity potential of 6,500
MW in 2019.
