Hydropower Sample Clauses
Hydropower. There is vast untapped potential of hydropower in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa and is an important energy source with considerable potential in many countries. At the same time, the environmental impacts of hydropower on livelihoods, water, soil, landscape, flora, fauna, cultural heritage and other aspects can be considerable, particularly where dams and reservoirs are part of the projects. ▇▇▇▇ takes into account the recommendations outlined in the World Commission of Dams (WCD) and acknowledges the importance of regional and basin level considerations in planning for new hydropower. ▇▇▇▇ also acknowledges the importance of enhancing the resilience to climate change of affected communities. For large dams Sida will require the use of an independent review panel in line with WCD. Sida welcomes the use of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol (HSAP) as a management tool for individual projects while recognizing that the protocol in itself does not guarantee that Sida’s sustainability requirements are met. Sida will put emphasis on ensuring monitoring of operation and, maintenance, financial sustainability and implementation of environmental and social management plans. OTHER TECHNOLOGIES Sida acknowledges the great potential of renewable energy technologies. For all technologies Sida requires the project owner to relate to and aim for applying principles of best practice in design, construction and operations. This must include plans for environmentally responsible management of waste/e-waste as well as other aspects identified to avoid or minimise negative impacts on the environment and affected people. Sida’s requirements and principles are summarized in the table on the next page. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Phone: +▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇; ▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇ December 2016 General ▇▇▇▇’s contributions towards power generation in sub-Saharan Africa1 target renewable energy and exclude generation bases on non-renewable energy sources2. Sida regards compliance with national legislation and the IFC Performance standardsiv as a minimum requirement. In addition Sida will require: - the use of an Independent Review Panelv for hydropower projects that include large dams; - project owners to define their proposal in relation to best practicevi for the respective technology and approach chosen. Key areas for Sida to appraise and follow up during implementation - ensure that impacts, opportunities and risks caused by the programme and impacts on t...

Hydropower. Our rivers contain a huge amount of hydraulic energy and to some extent fill the shortage of fuel in the country. The existence of powerful hydropower resources in Georgia is directly related to its mountainous terrain. Water flows from the Great Caucasus Ridge and the little Caucasus Mountains create a powerful supply of hydropower due to a sharp drop in short distances. This is especially true in western Georgia. In total, 26 thousand rivers are registered on the territory of Georgia. Their total length is about 60 thousand km. According to the Georgian Hydroproject, 319 rivers are distinguished from the total number of rivers in terms of energy value, with a total annual potential capacity of 15.63 million kW, and an average annual energy of 135.8 billion. KWh.1 Favorable conditions for hydropower construction in Georgia are created by the fact that 40% of the technical hydropower resources of the 319 rivers registered here come from the eight main rivers (Mtkvari, Rioni, Enguri, Tskhenistskali, Kodori, Bzipi, Khrami and Aragvi). The distribution of economic hydropower by rivers is given in Table №1. Name of the River Economic potential, Billion kWh / year Share of economic resources % 1 Chomakhidze, D., Chomakhidze, K., Chomakhidze, I., "Peculiarities and Principles of Energy Management", Tbilisi-2020. Georgia is especially rich in relatively small rivers. According to the Scientific Research Institute of Energy and Hydraulic Structures, their technical potential is 12.3 billion annually kWh. In recent years, the institute has developed 300 schemes for the use of small and medium rivers, including 229 small rivers. Small hydropower plants can be built on these rivers, with a unit capacity of 1 to 20 megawatts. 229 small HPPs can be located in 47 districts of the country. 155 of them can be built in 28 districts of western Georgia and 73 in 19 districts of eastern Georgia. The total capacity of small hydropower plants is 2.1 million kW. They will be able to generate 12.3 million kWh of electricity annually. Western Georgia accounts for 66.7% of capacity and 68.38% of output. The data presented here indicate that Georgia is a typical country of hydro resources. It will not only meet the country's electricity needs, but also allow us to sell some of the cheap energy to neighboring states if used wisely.2

Hydropower. Hydropower plays a key role in Sweden’s renewable electricity supply today. Continued high production of hydropower is an important part of the efforts to achieve an increased proportion of electricity from renewable sources, such as wind and solar power. The following applies to hydropower: • Sweden must conform to EU law and its requirements for water-related operations. • Sweden must impose modern environmental requirements on hydropower, but with an application system that is designed so as not to place unnecessary administrative and financial burdens for the individual relative to the environmental benefits sought. • The regulations on re-examination for water-related operations such as hydropower plants and dams should be simplified as far as is possible given the need to ensure sustainable development in which our water resources cannot be seen as just any resource. • The expansion of hydropower should primarily take place through increased output from existing plants with modern environmental permits. New plants must have modern environmental permits. • The protected ‘national rivers’ in the north of Sweden and other waterways specified by law will continue to be protected from development. • The property tax on hydropower plants will be reduced to the same level as for most other electrical production plants, i.e. 0.5 per cent. The tax will be reduced gradually over a four-year period beginning in 2017. At the same time, the hydropower industry must fully cover the costs of, for example, re- examination of plants, so that Sweden complies with EU law and its requirements concerning water-related operations. This work will be based on the fund solution discussed by the Swedish Energy Agency and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. The expansion of renewable energy must continue. Sweden has fantastic conditions for renewable electricity production, and it is reasonable to expect that Sweden can also become a net electricity exporter in the longer term. Effective use of existing hydropower and bioenergy, for example, could help increase the power output. A competitive district heating sector and reduced use of electricity for heating are prerequisites if we are to be able to deliver renewable electricity and warmth on cold winter days. It is important to consider the issue of output with respect to expanding renewable electricity production. Needs throughout the year and the low electricity prices must be taken into account. The relevan...

Hydropower. There are great opportunities for hydroelectric power in the country. A law has been promoted to propose mini-hydroelectric projects to reduce oil imports needed by thermal plants. However, Panama’s ability to continue to expand its hydropower capacity may face greater opposition in the future due to the following reasons: • Community opposed to hydropower projects. People in the province of Chiriquí have opposed large-scale hydropower projects. People opposed to the projects include indigenous communities from the region. • Transmission limitations. The transmission network in Panama is still weak with regards to capacity to deliver power from the western and eastern parts of the country to the center. • Not proceeding tendering processes. The main reason for the lack of interest in tendering processes was that the contracts were too short to ensure an adequate return and maximum prices were also not acceptable.
Hydropower. Although hydropower is itself a climate mitigation measure, depleted reaches of hydropower sections tend to simulate low flows and therefore worsen the impacts of climate change on rivers. In addition, structures associated with hydropower damage river
