5. Large scale hydropower, run-of-river and storage 5.
Hydropower solutions can be more reliable than other renewable options, and with their generating components engineered to last many years, they can be simpler to maintain and service. Large scale hydropower (including run of-river, reservoir and dam storage) can also help to develop a whole range of infrastructure facilities, including: • Multi-purpose dams, which besides providing electricity, also ensure potable water and irrigation that can bring significant improvements to local economies. • Hydropower facilities can also contribute to enhanced shipping conditions on rivers and improving river conditions (e.g. removing waste). • Hydropower schemes can reduce flooding and provide recreation and tourism opportunities. • Reservoirs act as perfect energy storage– the only commercially viable way in which this can be done – and the power can be generated when it is required. The industry continues to raise the bar as to what constitutes excellent stewardship and acceptable practices in utilising resources for hydropower development. 6.
