New hydropower
How much new hydropower can be built? Where is it viable? This is a page for some answers.
New hydro opportunities might be split into 2 general categories:
- Places where hydropower hasn't been economically viable, even though it's geographically viable. This might be the case in some developing nations.[RESEARCH needed]
- Places where hydropower is already built and powering the local grid, but more power would be needed if people switch to electric vehicles.
- Consider reading: Converting non-powered dams

Research in progress:
- I'm currently working on a world map to highlight possible cases of Category 1 new hydro. Elie (talk) 22:37, 2 January 2023 (EST)
