World Hydropower Congress Bali Statement on Powering Sustainable Growth: Consultation Draft 

The global hydropower market continues to be a significant player in the renewable energy landscape, providing a substantial share of the world's electricity generation. 

Both large-scale hydroelectric projects and run-of-the-river installations contribute to the overall renewable installed hydropower capacity.  

Large hydropower is recognized for its clean energy credentials and to balance between electricity production and sustainability.  

Technological advancements, evolving regulatory frameworks, and an increasing global focus on reducing carbon emissions are influencing the trajectory of the hydropower market, making it a critical component of the world's transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
