The main advantage of hydropower is that the production costs are eliminated;
Hydropower plants have a higher economic lifetime;
The maintenance cost of such sources of “green energy” is very small, since the equipment is automated and does not require a large staff during power generation;
Given that hydroelectric power plants do not burn fossil fuels, they do not directly emit greenhouse gases. Although carbon dioxide is produced in the manufacture of equipment, these emissions are not comparable to those obtained from the energy of non-renewable fuels;
Basins constructed for the production of hydropower, can be used for other activities such as water sports, aquaculture and irrigation agriculture;
Hydroelectric dams may even become tourist attractions, and prevent floods by storing excess water;
Practical her availability is throughout the entire year;
Energy obtained can be considered “clean” and “regenerative”.
