Access to Information
As information providers to the global hydro
industry, the editors here at PennWell’s Hydro
Group must continually think about how our
“consumers” prefer to get their information.
Those of you who have subscribed to HRW-
Hydro Review Worldwide for a decade or more
likely remember having to wait a pretty long
period of time to receive your copy of the
magazine in the postal mail. At that time, the only format we had to
provide information was print.
What a difference a few years makes in advances in information
delivery! Today, to deliver useful, practical information that helps pro-
fessionals working in hydro-related fields do their jobs better — and
in the format that is most helpful to them — we provide HRW-Hydro
Review Worldwide magazine in two formats ... digital or print. Each of
the more than 11,000 subscribers may choose which format works best
for them. And, most of you are choosing digital. With this format, not
only are subscribers able to see the latest edition almost immediately
upon our completion of it, but you can quickly and easily search for
something specific in the issue or share specific pages with colleagues.
We also launched our news website — www.HydroWorld.com —
nearly a decade ago, providing daily breaking news coverage of the
global hydro market, available at the tips of your fingers. Today, we
post several news articles each day on the site, and this news is read
by hundreds of thousands of hydro professionals all over the world.
But the website features more than just news. It provides a reference
for additional information, such as our Hydro Industry FAQs page and
our Hydro Library, both of which can be accessed under the Home tab.
Another change we’ve made is how we provide contact information
about hydro-related companies and the products and services they
provide. Traditionally, the only way to get access to this list of product
and service providers was through a printed directory — much like a
printed “phone book.” We printed the list once a year in this magazine
and, as soon as it was printed, it was out of date.
Today, the format we all use and prefer to get information about
product and service suppliers is digital. Because of this, instead of print-
ing a Suppliers Directory once a year, we now provide you access every
day of the year to an up-to-date company directory. On HydroWorld.
com, we have a specific section called Suppliers Directory. The URL
is: http://buyersguide.hydroworld.com/index.html.
Information about the services and products offered by nearly 900
companies is provided in an easy-to-search electronic format.
Companies can log on and manage their information electronically;
information can be added or changed with just a few keystrokes and then
be instantly available to you. However, this information is verified by
PennWell staff to ensure the data provided is accurate and useful. It’s a
great tool for any hydro professional to use when looking for companies
that supply a specific service or product you’re looking for. If you haven’t
already bookmarked this site, take a few minutes to do it now!
In this issue
I am pleased to call your attention to four specific items in this edition
of HRW-Hydro Review Worldwide:
• World News on page 4. We have perfected (new and improved)
the way we present our news coverage in the magazine. This news
department is now arranged by topic, very similar to the way infor-
mation is presented on HydroWorld.com.
• Global Market Outlook on page 10. Each year we take a for-
ward-looking view on the global hydropower industry. Much of
the data in this year’s report was provided by the International
Hydropower Association and provides some interesting insights.
• Featured Companies on page 22 contains profiles of more than 80
companies providing products and services to the global hydro industry.
• The Hydro Marketplace on page 34 lists names of companies provid-
ing specific products and services, grouped in eight major categories.
Access to information ... presented in the format most useful to
you ... is our No. 1 priority. We are constantly interested in your needs
and requests. Please reach out to me any time with your comments
and feedback.

NEW DEVELOPMENT
Work under way at 1.2 GW Suwalong facility in Tibet
The China Huadian Corp. has begun construction of the 1.2 GW
Suwalong facility on the Jinsha River, the upper section of the Yangtze
River, according to several published reports. This location is at the
junction of Mangkam County, Tibet Autonomous Region, and Batang
County, Sichuan Province, in southwest China.
The project is expected to cost about US$2.77 billion and will
include a 112 m-high dam that will impound the Jinsha River to form
a 674 million m3 reservoir. The powerhouse will include four 300 MW
mixed-flow generators, according to officials.
The Suwalong station is the first large-scale hydropower project
constructed on the upper reaches of the Jinsha River. According to
Tibet’s central government, it is also the first project regarding West-
East electricity transmission.
Officials said the river will be dammed by the end of 2017 and the
facility is expected to begin generating power by 2021.
Local reports say this is an important project with regard to sup-
porting Tibetan socio-economic development.

BUSINESS & FINANCE
Pakistan issues loan for 969 MW Neelum Jhelum hydropower plant
The Pakistani government has guaranteed US$955 million in Islamic
bonds to help pay for the country’s 969 MW Neelum Jhelum hydro-
electric project. The specialized Islamic bonds, known as a “sukuk,” will
be privately placed by the Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Company Ltd.
with a 10 year repayment period.
The run-of-river project is being developed by Pakistan’s Water and
Power Development Authority using water diverted from the Neelum
River in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Construction of the plant was about 80% complete as of mid April,
according to credit rating company JCR-VIS, which gave the sukuk a
AAA preliminary rating.
Neelum Jhelum has sparked controversy throughout its development
— most notably due to conditions established between Pakistan and
India by the 1960 Indus Water Treaty. With India developing its
330 MW Kishenganga project on the same waterway, the agreement
dictates that whichever country completes its plant first will have
priority rights to the river.
The project was originally to have begun operation in 2015, although
Pakistan’s Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) said
its first units will likely not be commissioned until this year.

REHABILITATION AND UPGRADES
Colombia’s Guatape hydro facility back on line after fire
Colombian utility Empresas Publicas de Medellin (EPM) brought two
of the eight turbine-generator units at its 560 MW Guatape hydro
facility back on line April 25, after a February fire.
The utility says emergency work to bring the remaining six units
on line is advancing according to schedule, according to BNamericas.
All eight units should be fully functional by September.
EPM says the Feb. 15 fire resulted from an incident with the cables
that take electricity from the powerhouse to the substation.
The plant is in Antioquia Department of Colombia and was built in
the late 1960s. Guatape generates 4% of Colombia’s electrical capacity,
thus the outage is a serious blow to the country’s electrical grid.

the pre-feasibility concept was initially identified.”
Three options for developing Kidston were studied and one chosen
as the most ideal. Work will now progress to the detailed design phase.
The option chosen involves the construction of a “turkey’s nest,”
a shallow dam upper reservoir on top of Eldridge Pit North Rock
Dump. An embankment 5 to 6 m high will be built around the existing
dump to create the dam. The new upper reservoir will be lined with
high-density polyethylene. The elevation of the upper reservoir will be
35 to 40 m higher compared those in the other two options.
The powerhouse will be located directly below the southeastern end
of the upper reservoir dam, adjacent to the west side of the pit. A single
pressure tunnel will bring water to a twin turbine. The turbines will be
built to enable variable output during generation but fixed pumping speed.
Completion of the feasibility study is targeted for the third quarter
of 2016. Earlier this year, Genex Power reported the plant would be
commissioned in 2018 and was anticipated to cost US$282 million.

REGULATION & POLICY
Brazil suspends Rousseff; impeachment trial looming
Brazil’s Senate voted on Thursday, May 12, to impeach President
Dilma Rousseff in part as a result of accusations Rousseff used illegal
accounting methods to garner public support through spending.
The 55-22 vote means that Rousseff ’s ally-turned-enemy, Vice
President Michel Temer, will take over as acting president while she
is suspended. The Senate has 180 days to conduct a trial and decide
whether Rousseff should be permanently removed from office.
Solicitor General Jose Eduardo Cardozo said after the vote that
Rousseff would fight impeachment in the Supreme Federal Tribunal,
Brazil’s highest court.
The move ends 13 years of rule by the left-leaning Workers’ Party,
which is credited with lifting millions out of abject poverty, but vilified
when billions were siphoned from the state oil company, Petrobras.
Rousseff was Brazil’s first female president. But, seven years of
economic growth began to slow after Rousseff took office in 2011.
She narrowly won re-election in 2014.

Atlantis signs deal with SBS to develop Indonesian tidal project
Marine energy developer Atlantis Resources Ltd. has signed a mem-
orandum of understanding with SBS International Ltd. to establish a
tidal stream array in Indonesia. Per the agreement, the partners will
construct a number of stages for what could ultimately become a
150 MW project at an estimated cost of US$750 million.
“The Indonesian archipelago of over 17,000 islands represents an
extremely promising tidal stream resource,” Atlantis Chief Executive
Officer Tim Cornelius said. “We are looking forward to working with
SBS on this exciting project that offers the potential to provide highly
predictable tidal stream power generation to the people of Indonesia.”
The announcement is the culmination of several years worth of
research by SBS, which said it has already completed a feasibility
study for the project. Energy generated by the project will be sold
to state-owned utility Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) through a
25-year power purchase agreement.
“After more than three years of research into Indonesia’s archipelagic
ocean resources, resulting in an exclusive offshore site development
agreement with state-owned utility PLN, we are progressing toward
signing a bankable 25-year feed-in tariff for the project,” said SBS
Chairman and CEO Michael Spencer. “SBS acknowledges and wel-
comes Atlantis Resources’ world-leading manufacturing experience,
technology and United Kingdom tidal current experience.”

Diesel fuel spill at 41.8 MW Meadowbank facility in Tasmania
indirectly drought related
Australia’s state-owned Hydro Tasmania said the utility spilled about
500 liters of diesel fuel on April 18 at its 41.8 MW Meadowbank
hydroelectric facility in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania.
The company said, “The spill was the result of human error.”
The region is facing an unprecedented combination of below average
rainfall and an extended outage of the Basslink cable (a high-voltage
direct current cable link crossing Bass Strait), according to the company.
To ensure electricity supply throughout the state, the company
selected two sites for temporary diesel generation: the 48 MW
Catagunya and Meadowbank hydropower facilities in Derwent Valley.
At each site, about 24 diesel generation units are being housed in
their own shipping containers, to provide 24 MW of capacity. Hydro
Tasmania said additional containers were placed onsite to house
supporting equipment and fuel, and the spill occurred at one of the
containers on the Meadowbank site.
“The spill was onto a 5-meter square area of crushed rock. It did not
enter, and was not near Lake Meadowbank,” said Andrew Hickman,
manager of major works with Hydro Tasmania.
Meadowbank Dam impounds the River Derwent, creating Lake
Meadowbank.

DAMS AND CIVIL STRUCTURES
No dam, hydro project damage after Japan, Ecuador earthquakes
The impacts of deadly earthquakes felt in Asia and South America in
April are still being assessed, although preliminary evaluations have
not yet revealed significant damage to dams or hydropower structures
on either continent.
In Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, which was rocked by a pair
of earthquakes on April 15, hundreds were ordered to evacuate near
Nishihara for fear that a dam might collapse.
Meanwhile across the Pacific Ocean, a magnitude-7.8 earthquake
a day later caused some Ecuadorian operators to temporarily shutter
their hydroelectric plants as a precautionary measure, news agencies
said, though no damages have been reported.
The death toll has risen to 49 in Japan and an estimated 600 in
Ecuador. On May 2, 72-year-old Manuel Vasquez was recued after
being trapped in a collapsed building in Jaramijo, Ecuador.

Kuwaiti agency financing small hydro development in Cuba
GE Cuba has signed a deal with the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic
Development (KFAED) that will see KFAED provide US$30 million
in financing for the construction of 34 small hydropower projects.
The agreement targets Cuba’s rural areas with the hope that improved
energy supplies will decrease immigration toward cities and stimulate
agricultural production.
KFAED said the 34 projects will be constructed on existing infra-
structure and have a cumulative capacity of about 14.6 MW. The
initiative will also include the construction of three linking substations
that will transmit to Cuba’s national grid, along with about 75 km of
transmission line.
The organization also said the financing will lead to the
“expansion of scientific research centers and universities to enhance
in general the development of the hydropower sector, as well as the
institutional support and consulting services for the detailed designs,
preparing tender documents and supervision of the project.”
The 21 year loan includes a grace period of seven years and is expected
to cover about 40% of the project’s overall costs. The remainder will be
paid for by the Government of Cuba.
KFAED said the initiative should be completed within seven years.

TECH NOTES
eStorage Project report quantifies 2,291 GWh of new pumped
hydro possible in Europe
Development-ready sites, with existing reservoirs for new pumped
hydro energy storage plants, offer generation potential of 2,291 GWh,
according to a newly released report from the eStorage Project. These
sites are in the EU-15, Norway and Switzerland.
The 2,291 GWh identified is more than seven times the current
installed capacity of pumped hydro energy storage in Europe and
more than enough to supply Malta’s electricity consumption for a
year, according to a press release. It would require 95 million lithi-
um-ion batteries of the type found in most electric cars to provide
equivalent storage.
Southern Norway is the region with the most potential feasible
capacity, with 1,242 GWh or 54% of the study’s total. This is followed by
the Alps with 303 GWh or 13% (Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland and
Germany) and the Pyrenees with 118 GWh or 5% (France and Spain).
The eStorage Project, an EC-funded consortium of major European
stakeholders from the entire electric power value chain, has been tasked
by the EC, under its FP7 program, to develop cost-effective solutions
for the widespread deployment of flexible, reliable, GWh-scale energy
storage across the EU and to enhance grid management systems to
allow the integration of a large share of renewable energies.
DNV GL conducted the study and focused exclusively on existing
water body pairs because of the cost advantages of connecting existing
water bodies rather than building new reservoirs. DNV GL developed
a GIS model to identify potential locations for new pumped storage
plants. The potential locations from the model were further refined
by national hydro experts using regional or country specific selection
criteria. “The qualitative review by leading national hydro experts
is what really sets our study apart,” says Haike van de Vegte, senior
consultant at DNV GL.

With a global emphasis on reducing carbon emissions, hydropower has
come to the forefront as an effective means of balancing other forms of
renewable generation. Hydro’s role in the modern power mix has led to
favorable climates for development, translating to the construction of
new plants and the upgrade of existing projects.
By Michael Harris
Although climate change mitigation
through the worldwide reduction
of greenhouse gas emissions has
long been a topic of hot debate, no single
mechanism perhaps better exemplifies a true
global commitment to true, tangible shifts
than the Paris Climate Accord.
The accord, agreed on by 195 countries
from around the world during the United
Nations Conference of Parties in December
2015, establishes sweeping, long-term eco-
logical and economic targets.
And although the accord does not specifi-
cally cite hydro — nor any other lone form of
generation, for that matter — as the catalyst
that will guarantee the proposal’s success, data
shows that both public and private power
producers around the world continue to
develop hydro, often citing its cleanliness as
a primary consideration.
So important is hydropower’s ability
to provide cost-effective power on a large
scale that the World Bank Group reversed
a two-decade decision barring investments
into large hydro in 2013, opening doors for
significant projects that would have previously
been unfeasible for many developers.
Trends in Hydropower
1605hrw_10 10 5/13/16 11:55 AM
www.hydroworld.com May-June 2016 / HRW 11
Hydropower’s continuing growth around
the world is confirmed in reports from a
number of multinational industry, watchdog
and lending organizations — data from which
is compiled here alongside research presented
by the International Hydropower Association
in its 2016 Hydropower Status Report.
IHA’s 2016 report, which draws on the
association’s global hydropower database,
shows a worldwide increase of 33.7 GW
of new installed capacity in 2015, including
2.5 GW of pumped-storage, bringing the
worldwide total to 1,212 GW of hydropower,
including 145 GW pumped storage.
The growth reflects trends from locales
around the world, with highlights here
by region:
Africa
While Africa holds about 10% of the globe’s
total hydroelectric potential of 270 GW, less
than 10% of that potential has been developed.
Of that 27 GW, 70% is concentrated in nine
countries, including the Democratic Republic
of Congo, Egypt, Mozambique, Morocco,
Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan and Zambia.
This disparity and enormous hydroelec-
tric potential have led to the creation of the
Programme for Infrastructure Development
in Africa (PIDA), spearheaded by the African
Union and African Development Bank. The
program and others like it push for the
creation of pan-African electricity grids
through the integration of existing power
pools, with energy coming in large part from
hydroelectric projects.
Leading the charge to develop this poten-
tial is Ethiopia, which has said it wants to
increase its hydroelectric capacity by 22 GW
by 2030. Further behind are Egypt (2.8 GW
by 2020), Uganda (1.2 GW of large and 85
MW of small capacity by 2017), and Morocco,
Mozambique and Nigeria — each of which
has said it wants to add at least 2 GW of
hydropower over the ensuing two decades.
Africa’s capacity will be bolstered signifi-
cantly in the coming years with the completion
of plants like the 6,000 MW Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance, as well as new developments at
DRC’s Grand Inga site, where there is the
potential to install 40 GW.
Developers are also showing a keen interest
in smaller, more localized projects as much of
rural Africa lacks access to grid infrastructure.
Asia
The Asian Development Bank estimates
that demand for energy in the East Asia and
Pacific regions will more than double by 2035,
while need in the southeastern portion of
the continent is even higher, with a projected
increase in demand of almost 300%.
The uptick is being met in large part by
China, which again led the world in new
development with more than 19,370 MW
of new hydroelectric capacity added in 2015,
including 1,230 MW of pumped storage.
Additional projects — including the massive
10.2 GW Wudongde, which is expected to
be completed by the end of 2021 — will
contribute to China’s stated goal of adding
260 GW of conventional and 30 GW of
pumped-storage capacity by the end of 2017.
Elsewhere in Asia, growth remains strong
in Turkey, which added 2,225 MW of new
hydropower capacity in 2015, including the 582
MW Beyhan 1 plant. Turkey has also recently
announced 101 new projects totaling more
than 2,000 MW.
Fueling much of the growth are aggressive
hydropower development targets, which nota-
bly include Japan (49 GW by 2020), Turkey (34
GW of capacity by 2023), Vietnam (19.2 GW
by 2020), Thailand (5.1 GW of conventional

and 2 MW of marine hydrokinetic by 2021)
and India (2.1 GW of small hydro by 2017).
Europe
While hydro accounts for 218 GW, including
51 GW of pumped-storage hydropower, it
represents only about 10% of the continent’s
overall supply of electricity. Still, IHA said,
the highest growth rates for hydro remain in
Europe’s eastern countries, which are growing
fast and have significant hydroelectric potential.
In total, new hydroelectric installations
accounted for slightly more than 209 MW in
Europe in 2015. At the same time, increas-
ingly stringent renewable portfolio standards
have positioned conventional hydro as a key
player, with pumped storage also important
in helping balance the intermittency of wind
and solar generation. In fact, a recent report
from the European Commission’s eStorage
Project shows the potential for more than
2,291 GWh of new pumped storage hydro,
with the greatest opportunity lying in the
EU-15, Norway and Switzerland.
Marine energy is also attractingstrong inter-
est in Europe — particularly within the United
Kingdom, where MHK sites in Scotland, Wales,
Northern Ireland and England remain in devel-
opment. Ocean power isn’t limited exclusively
to the UK, however, as a new test site was
inaugurated off France’s west coast in 2015.
Estimates vary, but previous reports from
European governments have shown the
continent’s waters have the potential to gen-
erate between 30 and 50 GW of cumulative
marine energy.
North America
Hydropower remains king in Canada,
accounting for more than 60% of the country’s
total electricity mix. Canada ranks fourth in
IHA’s most recent statistics, with 78 GW
in total installed capacity. 708 MW of new
capacity was built there in 2015, while notable
projects like the 1,100 MW Site C, 824 MW
Muskrat Falls, 330 MW Amisk, 395-MW
Romaine 3, 245-MW Romaine 4 and others
continue progressing.
To Canada’s south, federal legislation in
the United States continues to streamline
the process for hydropower projects — par-
ticularly those built on existing infrastructure.
The highest growth rates for
hydro remain in Europe’s eastern
countries, which are growing fast
and have significant potential.

Construction of new large plants has, for the most part, fallen
out of vogue — minus, perhaps, the completion of four projects
this year by American Municipal Power that have a cumulative
output capacity of 313 MW — although policy like the Obama
Administration’s “Clean Power Plan” could spark further interest
in the sector.
Meanwhile, hydropower in Central America remains strong
— particularly in Mexico, which saw an increase of 760 MW of
hydropower in 2014, and a further 25 MW in 2015. The government of
the country has announced plans to construct the 240 MW Chicoasen
2 plant in coming years, while also partnering with Canada’s Manitoba
Hydro to learn more about small hydro development.
South America
Drought remains a significant concern for many South American
operators, although it hasn’t stopped operators from increasing
the continent’s hydroelectric capacity by over 3,800 MW in 2015.
The bulk of this new installed capacity — 2,457 MW — was
commissioned in Brazil, which recently saw the first units at both
the 11.2 GW Belo Monte and 1.8 GW Teles Pires plants begin
operation. An ailing economy and political strife have stifled new
development somewhat, but the government still seems keen on
developing nearly 8 GW of hydroelectric capacity by 2021.

Global perceptions of hydro are constantly changing, as are interpretations regarding
what constitutes hydropower. Meanwhile new technologies, improved designs and
advances in engineering are redefining how and where projects can be developed.
As countries race to meet looming renewable portfolio standards and address hydro-
logical issues impacting many regions, hydropower will remain a strong commodity. ■

Chile’s location and geography provide
it with vast, untapped marine energy
resources located close to centers of
power demand. The country stretches from the
Atacama Desert in the north to the Magellan
Strait in the south, equivalent to the distance
between Nigeria and Norway.
Estimates vary, but the total wave
resource is likely to exceed 200 GW.
Much of this power is located off the
coast of Patagonia and the practically
extractable power will be a fraction
of this value, yet UK marine energy
specialists Aquatera estimate that with
the right support policies, Chile could
install more than 300 MW of wave
power generation capacity by 2030.
The tidal resource is only about 1%
of the wave resource, but Chile has
many attractive sites. With tidal stream
turbines closer to commercialization than wave
devices, according to Aquatera, tidal projects
may have a head start in Chile and could reach
150 MW of capacity by the mid-2020s.
The situation in Chile
The U.S. Energy Information Administration
says Chile is South America’s fifth largest
consumer of energy but it only produces a rela-
tively minor amount of fossil fuels and imported
97% of its energy consumption in 2012. To
reduce dependence on imports, Chile seeks to
develop greater domestic energy production.
Aquatera says that politically, the Chilean
government promotes electricity generation
from “non-conventional renewables” (this
excludes large hydropower) through a sys-
tem of fines for larger electricity generating
companies, which are required to increase
their production of power from renewables
year on year. However, these incentives are
technology neutral, so the cheapest forms
of generation (wind, small hydro and solar)
enter the market first. Despite this, there are
a number of R&D, technology transfer and
community development funds that could
be used to support marine energy projects.
In February 2014, we reported on
HydroWorld.com that the Inter-
American Development Bank called
for consultants to support development
of two pilot marine energy projects in
the country. However, with a change
of government and a renewed focus on
fast-tracking solar and wind projects,
these initiatives were not taken forward.
In 2014, Chilean economic develop-
ment agency CORFO selected DCNS
and Enel Green Power to develop
MERIC, Chile’s Marine Energy
Research and Innovation Center. With
about $20 million in cash and in-kind
funding, the center will work with Chilean
universities and companies to carry out marine
renewable energy R&D and conduct studies
to identify the first sites where marine energy
technologies could be installed. It is hoped that
by 2019, MERIC will have the experience and
consolidated infrastructure to allow it to provide
services to local and international industry

Understanding the Ocean Energy Resource in Chile
Chile’s demand for electrical power is set to double to more than 30
GW by 2030. And with more than 4,000 km of Pacific coastline
exposed to consistently powerful waves and multiple tidal streams,
Chile is poised to make use of its marine renewable energy resources.

energy development
potential in the Pacific
Ocean, with more than

interested in testing marine renewable energy
technologies in the Chilean environment.
In-depth report released
Aquatera released its report, Recommendations
for Chile’s Marine Energy Strategy - A Roadmap
for Development, in 2014. This study, available
at bit.ly/1UUDHdc, was commissioned by the
British Embassy in Santiago and was developed
by Aquatera in partnership with the Renewable
Energy Division of the Chilean Ministry of
Energy and other local partners.
This study was the first to produce detailed
reports on the marine energy development
potential of Chile’s coastal regions. Aquatera
identified that Chile has vast potential for
generating power from waves and much
smaller but still significant tidal potential. With
input from international industry experts and
through workshops and interviews held in nine
of Chile’s 15 regions, Aquatera produced a set
of recommendations to support the develop-
ment of marine energy strategy. These included
measures such as including wave and tidal
energy in the regulations for securing marine
concessions, focusing R&D activity on areas
of existing strengths, targeting niche markets
with high energy costs, and securing financial
support for early demonstration projects.
The report indicates hydropower has a
capacity factor of 45% to 65%. Wave energy
in Chile is listed with a capacity factor of 50%
(about 20% higher than in Europe) and tidal
energy 30%. This compares favorably with
onshore wind at 30% and solar energy at 25%.
In addition, Aquatera points out that waves
and tidal are more predictable than wind and
solar and more densely energetic.
The report also acknowledges the challenges.
Chief among these is that wave and tidal power
technologies are in the early development stage
and the cost of power from these sources is
higher than Chilean grid electricity prices.
Nonetheless, the report identifies niche mar-
kets where wave and tidal power may be able
to compete, for example in remote locations
where energy costs may be three or four times
those inside the grid, and where the power
can be used more directly (in wave-powered
water pumping). Aquatera highlights that the

challenge of wave energy is to generate power
from the low-speed and high-force oscillations
of waves, which is a more complex problem
with apparently a more diverse range of power
conversion solutions than for tidal power.
The report says, “The fact that marine
energy has yet to be commercialized means
that Chile has a chance to play a development
role and establish a manufacturing capacity
which would be difficult to achieve in more
established industries such as wind and solar,
where equipment is largely imported.” Detailed
recommendations are outlined, covering actions
in areas such as government strategy, regulatory
framework, R&D and innovation, infrastruc-
ture and supply chain development, and finance.
The Chilean government has set up MERIC,
but progress in other areas has been limited.
There has been a continued increase in
marine energy activity in Chile since the report
was published. Marine renewable energy asso-
ciation ADEMAR has seen its membership
grow and has organized marine energy events.
Chile’s technology developers and universities
continue to develop prototypes and research
areas. International technology developers
have been studying the Chilean market to
identify potential project opportunities.
Wind and solar have shown how the energy
cost from sources not previously considered
viable can drop faster than expected. With a
growing demand for energy and enormous
untapped resources, it can surely only be a mat-
ter of time before Chile generates a significant
amount of power from waves and tides. ■

Asset Investment Planning & Management
Executives in asset intensive organizations are expected by their board and stakeholders
to fully understand the risks and opportunities related to their asset base. Yet information
about assets is often scattered across multiple departments and systems, making it
increasingly difficult to decide how to best leverage existing assets and where to invest.
Copperleaf’s Asset Investment Planning and Management solution, C55, is specifically
designed to help asset intensive organizations make risk-informed, value-based investment
decisions. Aligned with the ISO 55000 asset management standard, it helps organizations
realize the highest value from their assets, and select future opportunities that provide the
greatest return to the organization.
