M2 - Thu Jul 18, 4:34AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sl4jnf/analyzing_the) has announced the addition of the "Analyzing the Global Hydropower Industry" report to their offering. Hydropower remains the most widely used renewable resource for clean power generation across the globe, due in part to its power generation flexibility, a major advantage it has over other technologies. It helps to maintain grid stability and can overcome shortages during peak power demand or power losses. Hydropower technology also carries the benefit of generating lower Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions than other renewable energy sources. Hydropower is the simplest form of renewable energy with the longest history of use. Hydropower is also inexpensive, with favorable policies and incentives provided by governments around the world and still, much of its global potential remains untapped, and while the share of other renewable resources are expected to increase in the future, hydropower is expected to remain at the top of global renewable installed capacity, accounting for up to 70% of the total renewable installed capacity.
