In Malaysia, small hydropower refers to run-of-river schemes up to 30 MW in capacity. 2 Small hydropower usually is broken down into three sizes: full scale, mini and micro. 3 A full scale small hydropower scheme has a capacity of more than 10 MW, which is enough electricity for large areas and extensive grid supplies (up to 30 MW).
Hydropower. Hydropower is energy derived from flowing water. More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Greeks used waterpower to run wheels for grinding grain; today it is among the most cost-effective means of generating electricity and is often the preferred method where available. In Norway, for example, 99% of electricity comes from hydropower.
Malaysia''s primary energy supply heavily relies on NG, which accounts for 41.9% of the energy mix, followed by crude oil, petroleum products, and others at 29.9%. The remaining portion consists of coal (21.1%) and renewable energy sources (hydropower, biodiesel, biomass, biogas, and solar) (approximately 7.1%).

Just as reducing downstream water flow can cause habitat loss, creating reservoirs to generate electricity in storage and pumped storage hydropower systems often cause upstream flooding that destroys wildlife habitats, scenic areas, and prime farming land. In some instances, this flooding can even force human populations to relocate.
The existing 161,000 megawatts (MW) of pumped storage capacity supports power grid stability, reducing overall system costs and sector emissions. A bottom up analysis of energy stored in the world''s pumped storage reservoirs using IHA''s stations database estimates total storage to be up to 9,000 gigawatt hours (GWh).
