The paper benefitted from an internal IRENA review, as well as valuable comments and guidance from Ken Adams (Hydro Manitoba), Eman-uel Branche (EDF), Professor LIU Heng (International Center on Small Hydropower ), Truls Holtedahl (Norconsult AS), Frederic Louis (World Bank), Margaret Mann (NREL), Judith Plummer (Cam-bridge University), Richard Taylor (IHA) and Manuel Welsch (KTH).
Large hydropower projects will typically average around 2”% to 2.5”%.
