Dublin, Feb. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "The Global Hydropower Market Report 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Hydropower is the most mature, reliable and cost-effective renewable power generation technology where power is derived from the energy of water moving from higher to lower elevations. It is a technology that is a long established method of generating electricity, especially in developed western countries. It is a proven, anticipated, and typically price-competitive technology.

Hydropower has one of the best efficiencies of conversion of all known energy sources (water to wire 90 percent efficiency). In developing nations this resource is heavily underutilized and will therefore provide considerable growth opportunities, as demand for electricity increases to fuel growing industrialization. Though it requires comparatively high initial investment, it has a long service life with very low operational and maintenance costs.

The unique siting requirements of traditional underground hydropower facilities, however, present substantial development risk. Higher efficiency, next-generation hydropower technologies may not be limited by geological considerations are being commercialized.
