How much hydro power is produced by small-scale hydro power projects in the world?
It is almost impossible to provide an accurate answer to this question since much of the micro hydro and small-scale hydro is not connected to a grid or major electrical system, and is therefore never measured. The definition of small-scale hydro power also varies from country to country. However, it is estimated that about 5 percent of the total hydro potential is in the small hydro range which would yield a result of 100 billion to 150 billion kilowatt hours per year.
