Market Overview:

Hydro-power is considered to be the oldest renewable energy technique known to mankind for electricity generation. It is a non-polluting and environmentally benign source of energy.

Hydroelectricity currently supplies about 715,000 MW or 19% of the world’s electricity, accounting for 63% of the total electricity from the renewable energy sector.

Hydro Power has a prominent role to play in responding to the energy challenges. The electricity generated from Small Hydro Power (SHP) projects is cost-effective. Such projects are simple to operate, have a relatively short gestation period, and are environment friendly. In addition, SHP projects can be located in remote areas for generating power. The global estimated potential of SHP is about 180,000 MW
