  1. Hydro as the leading renewable energy source Its role in the grid and for Society Alison Bartle, Director, Aqua~Media International Ltd

  2. Anthropogenic NOx emissions (total 110 Mt/yr) World carbon emissions (according to IEA) Residential and small utilities 7% Combustion of biomass 14% Biogenic - 35% 450 Mt/year Anthropogenic - 65% 830 Mt/year TOTAL 1280 Mt/year Oxidation of NH3 5% Mineral dust 7% Powerplants 25% Transport 30% Industry 12%

  3. More than 3 million deaths per year are causedby air pollution In China, an estimated40 per cent of the land area is polluted by acid rain “We did not inherit the planet from our ancestors, but we borrowed it from our children”

  4. Nearly 50 countries in the world have annual per capita consumption of electricity <250 kWh/year About 1.6 billion people lack a reliable electricity supply

  5. Predicted investment in renewable energies by region Source: IEA

  6. Wide diversity of RE systems

  7. Smart grids and RE targets Australia is committed to investing $100 million in smart grids TARGET: 20 per cent of electricity from RE by 2010 Hydro Quebec: 1550 MW La Romaine linked to smart grid control TARGET: 90 per cent of electricity from non-emitting sources China announces ‘aggressive framework’ for smart grid deployment TARGET: 15 per cent of electricity from RE by 2010 Korean government to implement nation-wide smart grid by 2030 TARGET: >6% per cent of electricity from RE by 2010 European Union: Smart grid technology is part of European Technology Platform initiative TARGET: 20 per cent of electricity from RE by 2010

  8. Large Hydro

  9. HYDRO is the only form of energy to offer multiple benefits… • Water supply • Irrigation • Flood control • Environmental protection = sustainable regional development

  10. What are dams, reservoirs and hydro plants doing for us? 926 GW of clean renewable hydropower is in operation (161.4 GW more is under construction) 19% of world electricity production is produced by hydro Enhancing power trading opportunities in Asia and Africa About 330 major dams (> 60 m) are under construction - 60% multipurpose

  11. World trend in hydro development over 10 years…. …led by Asia

  12. Rate of hydro development and GDP growth

  13. Where hydropower can make a big difference CAMBODIA: •Total installed capacity 314 MW• Per capita consumption 82 kWh/yr• 193 MW Kamchay scheme u/c• Stoeng Atay (120 MW planned) <1 per cent of potential developed NEPAL:•Total installed capacity 700 MW • Per capita consumption 80 kWh/yr• Middle Marsyangdi (70 MW) u/c• West Seti going ahead (750 MW)• Upper Karnali to follow (300 MW) <2 per cent of potential developed VIETNAM: •Total capacity 15,200 MW (30% hydro) • Per capita consumption 602 kWh/year• 2400 MW Son La nears completion• 24 major hydro schemes u/c 7500 MW of hydro will come on line by 2015 LAOS: •Total installed capacity ~1800 MW• NT 2 (1070 MW) recently commissioned• Per capita consumption 233 kWh/year• Nearly 3000 MW of hydro u/c Up to 16 000 MW of hydro at various stages of development

  14. Millennium Development Goals • Reduction in child mortality• Improvements in providing primary education Hydropower schemes can provide: Clean water supply ~ Electricity for refrigeration of food and for medical facilities ~The development of hospitals ~ Electricity for computers~ Light for evening study

  15. Millennium Development Goal Empowerment of women and gender equality Electricity from hydro and a water supply: • Frees women from arduous tasks such as collection of wood or water,or using a river for washing clothes • Helps in the development of educational centres and cottage industries (often within a project)

  16. Millennium Development Goal Developing global partnerships Hydropower development encourages: • Joint planning and development • Joint schemes on shared waterways • Power trading = benefit sharing

  17. Joint hydro development on major rivers Senegal river: Mali, Senegal, Guinea and Mauritania OMVS schemes: Félou, Sélingué upgrade, Gourbassi, Koukoutamba, Bouréa Mekong river: Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand 30,000 MW of hydro potentialon the Lower Mekong Madeira river : Brazil and Bolivia Jirau, 3300 MW; Santo Antonio, 3150 MW (BR)Guayaramerin, 3000 MW (BR/BO)Cachuela Esperanza, 800 MW (BO)

  18. Nam Theun 2: First revenues from power sales to Thailand flow into Laos…. …and are invested in schools, health centres and environmental programmes

  19. BHUTAN 10,000 MW of hydro to be commissioned by 2020 (for local consumption but mainly power sales to India) Per capita consumption = 2000 kWh/yr, the highest in Asia

  20. Children of the developing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America: Their futures will depend on prudent development of all available renewable energy resources, especially large and small hydropower
