(MENAFN- Market Research Future) Pune, India, September 2019, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on the Global Hydropower Market.
The rising level of awareness about environmental conservation has shifted the focus towards clean and renewable energy. Hydropower remains highly touted renewable option owing to its high sustainability and lower implications on the environment. Market Research Future (MRFR) projects that the global hydropower market will grow at over 3% CAGR during the forecast period (2019-2023).
Water supplies globally remain in abundance, which is prompting the energy sector to shift its focus towards hydropower. Moreover, the rapid exhaustion of fossil fuel and concerns over CO2 emission is driving the adoption of energy sources that are sustainable and eco-friendly. Preference for hydropower is high due to its versatile characteristics and application of sustainable technology. Hydropower not only allows generation of electricity but also storage of water. Hydropower currently contributes 20% of the overall electricity supply worldwide. Pro-environmental practices and lower consequences on the ecology are some of the key factors supporting the adoption of hydropower plants.
Over time, hydropower plants have mushroomed across the globe. It is gaining momentum in both rural and urban areas. In addition, hydropower is affordable and reliable which is a crucial economic factor. This allows development of hydropower plant in economically backward regions.
Compared to other renewable energies such as solar and wind, hydropower is more viable. The data released by Energy Information Administration (EIA) revealed that hydroelectricity capacity utilization factor (CUF) is more than 60% when compared to 25% for Solar PV. The global hydropower market is also benefiting from the stern actions taken on use of resources that result in high toxic production.
