Regulation and Energy Policy, Hydropower Plant Upgrading, and Environment

Javier Escudero

Energy & Environment, 1994, vol. 5, issue 2, 149-158

Abstract: Improvements in existing hydroelectric power plants can increase quantity of production, but very often they are also designed to improve its quality, that is, peak generation capacity and availability of reserve energy, which in turn leads to a reduction of emissions in the producer part. An adequate valuation and economic recognition of the energy quality in remuneration seems essential to encourage these improvements. Frequent size discrimination acts against this recognition, because quality of energy is more often present in conventional-sized installations.
