This report synthesizes the experience
of micro hydro developments in Sri Lanka, Peru, Nepal,
Zimbabwe, and Mozambique. It attempts to draw out the Best
Practice from this experience. Micro hydro plants are
defined as having a capacity of between 10 kW and 200 kW.
The report provides a rigorous comparative microeconomic
analysis of the cost and financial returns of a sample of
plants across the five countries. It draws out the
macroeconomic, financial, and other institutional
arrangements that appear important to the scaling-up of
micro hydro investments. Summaries of the microeconomic
analysis of the case studies of individual micro hyro plants
are included in the annex to this synthesis report. The
lessons for "Best Practice" are summarized in
Section 5.
