Renewable Energy Production Slows down due to Lack of Transformers
Hydropower Generation Decreases due to Droughts in 2024
By Shubhendra Anand , 09 October, 2024
Hydropower generation is an important renewable source for producing electricity. In 2024, hydropower generation faces drastic changes as droughts in several nations hinder the process. Renewable energy is always vulnerable to calamities as natural resources are the primary energy source. Hydropower is generated from the water; hence, drought affects its production.
Climatic changes have different environmental impacts; drought is one of them in 2024. Drought in 2024 is affecting water resources and reducing the water flows. Water reservoirs are facing immense difficulty in producing hydropower. Therefore, there will be a drastic change in hydropower generation globally in 2024. Hydropower is an essential source of renewable energy. It accounts for a large part of electricity production in different nations globally. In 2024, emerging nations will invest heavily in hydropower. Some countries, like China, Canada, and others, heavily depend on hydropower generation. Therefore, these countries may face immense energy shortages in 2024 due to hindrances in energy production. Asian countries like India are facing energy shortages from hydroelectricity projects as hydropower generation is cut off due to changing natural calamities in the country.
Additionally, the decrease in hydropower generation increases the chances of fossil fuels grasping the energy graph. Hence, fossil fuels grew slightly in India when hydropower fell to meet energy demands in 2023. Analysts expect the rise of fossil fuels during the decrease in hydropower in 2024.
Experts claim that shaking the image of hydropower generation requires another alternative to hydropower generation. It is mainly important for electricity generation. Due to the decrease in hydropower generation, it is being affected. Hence, options like low carbon emissions electricity should meet the electricity demand whenever hydroelectricity falls. Moreover, the energy market will increase fossil fuel consumption if hydropower generation fails to provide hydroelectricity per the demands.
