Which major factors have contributed to the expansion of the hydropower market?
The rising demand for electricity is expected to propel the growth of the hydropower market going forward. Electricity is a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles, typically electrons. The increasing digitization of several sectors, including communication, information technology, and smart technologies, leads to a higher need for electricity to power servers, data centers, and communication networks. Hydropower is a renewable energy source, relies on the continuous flow of water, which is replenished by natural processes such as rainfall and snowmelt. This makes hydropower a sustainable and environmentally friendly option for electricity generation. For instance, in 2022, according to the data published by Our World in Data, a UK-based scientific online publication organization, US electricity demand increased to 4,338.1 TWh (terawatt-hour) . Therefore, the rising demand for electricity is driving the growth of the hydropower market.
