Best Practices for Sustainable Development of Micro Hydro Power in Developing Countries
Short summary:
This report synthesises the experience of micro hydro developments in Sri Lanka, Peru,
Nepal, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. It attempts to draw out the Best Practice from this
experience. Micro hydro plants are defined as having a capacity between 10 kW and
200 kW. The report provides a rigorous comparative micro economic analysis of the
cost and financial returns of a sample of plants across the five countries. It draws out
the macro economic, financial and other institutional arrangements that appear
important to the scaling-up of micro hydro investments.
Long summary:
The case study material was provided by nationals of the countries according to a set of
methodological guidelines that were developed at the start of the project, in an effort to
maximise the opportunities for valid comparisons between the countries. At the request
of the World Bank, a British consulting firm, London Economics was contracted to
validate the methods used in the financial analyses and to ensure consistency in the data.
