Global Run of River Power Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Global Run of River Power Market, By Type (Pondage, Without Pondage) – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Run of River Power Market Analysis and Size

Run of river power systems are renewable, small, and suitable as low-impact alternatives to existing large-scale plants. They are mostly built on rivers and generate hydropower by harnessing the kinetic energy generated by the river's natural flow. Because of the rush of several hundred tons of water per second, these power plants can support large capacities ranging from tens to hundreds of megawatts.

Global run of river power market was valued at USD 275 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 458.55 million by 2029, registering a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period of 2022-2029.

Market Definition

Run of river power systems are hydroelectric systems that generate electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing water in the absence of a large dam and reservoir. "This distinguishes them from conventional impoundment hydroelectric facilities. A small dam and possibly some storage may be used to ensure that enough water enters the penstock (for same day use). Run-of-the-River power generation is primarily based on the natural flow rate of water "rather than the force of water falling a long distance.
