Small Hydropower Market - Africa Industry Analysis 2024 |TMR Report
Africa Small Hydropower Market: Overview
Small
hydropower (<10 MW) as compared to hydropower in Africa is an
increasingly attractive solution in the countries of Africa. Renewable
energy is developing at a rapid pace and hydropower remains the most
explored and primary source of clean energy. Small hydropower converts
the energy of the flowing water into electricity by using a turbine
coupled to a generator. It has high capacity utilization and plant
availability factor which results in maximum availability of plant for
generation. Majorly, the run of river and already existing water
infrastructure are considered which contributes to the generation of
small hydro plants.

Hydroelectric
energy is the cleanest form of renewable generation as it does not
releases any harmful gases, carbon dioxide and other pollutant which
directly or indirectly affects the environment. The plants are generally
off grid and is widely used in rural areas where there is no
electricity supply. It has no fuel cost and low operational and
maintenance cost makes it one of the cheapest source of energy. Small
hydro plants has the efficiency over 90% which makes it most efficient
and favorable energy among the other renewable sources.
The
lifespan of small hydropower plants are more as compared to larger
hydropower plants. Generally the life span is up-to 50 years and this
make it a reliable and economical source of energy conversion. Small
hydro has high capacity utilization factor up to 50% which results in
higher output as compared to wind and solar power which accounts for 25%
and 20% respectively. Small hydro plant can be operated continuously at
any temperature and wind condition which makes it economical and
flexible.
Africa Small Hydropower Market: Scope of the Study
In
order to compile the research report, we conducted in-depth interviews
and discussions with a number of key industry participants and opinion
leaders. Combination of top down and bottom up approach has been used to
estimate market size. Some of the underlying estimation factors such as
the number of small hydro plants, potential sites, and capacities
(installed and potential) have also been measured. Impact of increasing
installation of renewable energy capacity was also considered while
drawing trends and forecasts for each regional market. Primary research
represented the bulk of research efforts, supplemented by extensive
secondary research. We reviewed key players’ product literature, annual
reports, press releases, and relevant documents for competitive analysis
and market understanding. Secondary research includes a search of
