According to the Markets and Data Research report, “Global Hydropower Market Assessment, By Region, Opportunities and Forecast, 2017–2031F”, global hydropower market will witness a net addition of 22.77 GW. It will increase to a net addition of 27.18 GW in 2030, growing at a CAGR of 2.24%.
Hydroelectric power is a renewable energy source that has been used for ages. The market is driven by rising demand for clean and sustainable energy, energy security concerns, and attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Hydropower has several advantages, including great energy efficiency, dependability, and the capacity to store energy during peak demand. The market is divided into three segments, i.e., large hydropower, small hydropower, and micro hydropower. Small hydropower refers to the installations of up to 100 kW, whereas major hydropower plants surpass 10 MW. Pumped storage hydropower generates energy by storing and releasing water at peak demand. Hydropower development differs by area.

Large-scale hydroelectric dams are the major infrastructure projects that use the power of water to generate energy on a large scale. These dams are often built over rivers or other bodies of water to create reservoirs capable of storing significant volumes of water. The held water is subsequently released through turbines, which spin generators to create electricity. The dam itself is designed to impound water and create a reservoir.
It is intended to withstand the pressure produced by stored water and regulate the release of water for power generation. The reservoir acts as a massive water storage system, providing a consistent water supply for energy generation. Furthermore, large hydroelectric dams provide various advantages.
They provide a consistent and predictable renewable energy source since the water flow can be controlled and altered in response to electrical demand. They help to ensure energy independence and security by lowering dependency on fossil fuel imports. Furthermore, these dams frequently provide additional benefits such as flood control, agricultural water supply, and leisure possibilities by creating reservoirs.
