ABSTRACT
Hydropower renewable energy applications have been important elements in the renewable transformation plans of key emerging economies and developed countries. Hydropower is currently the largest single renewable electricity power generation source globally. Hydropower has been competitive against fossil fuel power generation and is currently providing over 16% of world’s electricity generation. Significant new developments are planned for emerging economies in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Ocean renewable energy sources have remained a largely untapped renewable energy source, despite decades of development efforts. Details of hydropower and ocean renewable power developments will be discussed in more detail in this chapter with international examples.
