What is Small Hydropower?
Small hydropower is an advancement of hydroelectric power plants on a scale appropriate for a small community or industrial plants. Dissimilar to hydroelectric plants which are huge in size and produce power in thousands of megawatts, small hydro indicate hydroelectric plants that generate between 10 to 30 MWs. They can be further categorized into mini hydroelectric plants (100 kW–1 MW), micro-hydroelectric plants (5–100 kW), and pico hydroelectric plants (< 5 kW).

Due to their proportionally compact sizes, small hydroelectric plants are positioned with less intricate construction works and are normally positioned in rural areas that are not linked to a national electricity grid. The kinetic energy of the water cascading from a height is transformed into mechanical energy by a turbine, which then propels a generator to generate electricity. They offer a dependable source of green energy, assisting in local energy requirements while encouraging sustainable development and pushing the small hydropower market growth.

What Factors Are Driving Market?
Growing Government Policies: Governments and administrative organizations are initiating policies such as energy community policy suggestions, UNIDO enterprises for green advancements, tax stimulus, subsidies, grants, and feed-in tariffs to encourage green energy involving small hydropower. These policies decrease the head-on costs and probabilities linked with small hydropower projects, rendering them more alluring to investors and developers and fuelling the small hydropower market demand.

Innovations in Turbine Design: Inventions in turbine outline, substances, and regulatory systems have rendered small hydropower systems more productive in transforming water flow into electricity, even in low-head or low-flow situations. These enhancements permit small hydropower to function in a broader gamut of locations involving distant and rural areas where conventional hydropower systems may not be practical.

What are Emerging Trends Shaping Market?
Escalating Rural Electrification: The market demand is propelled by growing rural electrification enterprises. Several rural regions, especially in advancing nations, have the need of lack rendering decentralized solutions such as small hydropower excessively alluring. Further, small hydropower projects are economical in contrast to wind and solar energy, which motivates governments, municipal corporations, and local bodies to fund these projects to create dependable and green electricity for rural communities.

How is Market Segmented?
The small hydropower market categorization is based on type, capacity, component, and region.

Based on type, the micro hydropower segment witnessed a steep rise owing to the growing demand for decentralized and economical renewable energy solutions. Rural electrification enterprises, especially in advancing nations, have escalated the acquisition of micro hydropower because of its steadiness for small rural groups and agricultural applications.

Based on capacity, the up to 1MW segment dominated the market owing to its ingenuity, economy, and appropriateness for decentralized energy systems. The capacity of 1 MW small hydropower systems to serve small groups, rural electrification projects, and industrial applications without needing an outstanding framework or extensive water resources has aided its extensive acquisition.

Which Regions are Leading Market?
By region, the market is bifurcated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific by far leads the small hydropower market share due to its expansive unused water resources, speedy urbanization, and robust government reinforcement for green energy. Nations such as China and India dominate the region because of their sizeable funding in clean energy frameworks and green energy.

Europe is projected to be the fastest-growing region due to its pledge to acquire carbon neutrality and decreasing dependence on fossil fuels. The European Union's strict green energy objectives and encouraging administrative structures such as green deal and national renewable energy action plans, is driving the market forward.
