DUBLIN, Jan. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Hydropower Market Report 2024-2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Hydropower Market  revenue will surpass US$265.6 billion in 2024

This work identifies which organizations hold the greatest potential. Discover their capabilities, progress, and commercial prospects, helping you stay ahead.

The Hydropower Market Report 2024-2034: This report will prove invaluable to leading firms striving for new revenue pockets if they wish to better understand the industry and its underlying dynamics. It will be useful for companies that would like to expand into different industries or to expand their existing operations in a new region.

Growing Environmental Consciousness and the Need for Sustainable Power Generation

Hydropower stands acknowledged as an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy source, aligning seamlessly with the escalating global focus on environmental awareness and the imperative for sustainable power generation. Furthermore, hydropower projects play a pivotal role in ensuring energy security by furnishing a dependable and unwavering power supply.

The adaptability of hydropower, capable of catering to diverse scales of electricity demand, serves as a compelling catalyst for its widespread adoption on a global scale. Substantially propelling market growth are government initiatives, subsidies, and favorable policies that lend substantial support to hydropower projects.

The hydropower market is rife with numerous opportunities. Venturing into burgeoning markets represents a promising trajectory for industry participants. These markets often boast untapped hydropower potential, offering fertile ground for the initiation of novel projects. Furthermore, establishing manufacturing units in lucrative markets holds the potential to augment operational efficiency and curtail costs.

Embracing low-cost hydropower solutions in low and middle-income countries emerges as a significant opportunity to address energy needs sustainably. Forming strategic alliances with regional entities facilitates the exchange of knowledge, technology transfer, and mutual advancement. Simultaneously, investments in cutting-edge technologies, such as advanced turbine systems and smart grid integration, unlock avenues for innovation and efficiency enhancements.

New Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Onshore Wind Power are on the Verge of Costing Less Than the Marginal Operating Cost of Hydropower

The assertion that new Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Onshore Wind Power are approaching cost parity with, or even potentially undercutting, the marginal operating cost of Hydropower implies a significant could be the high initial capital costs associated with the construction of hydropower facilities, including dams and reservoirs.

While hydropower has historically been a reliable and cost-effective source of renewable energy, the upfront investment required for infrastructure development might limit its ability to compete with the decreasing costs of solar PV and onshore wind projects. Additionally, environmental concerns and regulatory challenges associated with the construction of new hydropower projects may act as restraining factors.

Opposition to dam construction due to ecological impacts, displacement of communities, and habitat disruption can hinder the growth of hydropower, especially when compared to the perceived environmental benefits of solar and wind installations.
