answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2023 answer text <p>Hydropower accounts for approximately 2% of total electricity generation in the UK. Much of this deployment is in a small run-of-river projects, which use the natural downward flow of rivers and tend to be relatively expensive.</p><p> </p><p>Studies in Scotland, England and Wales indicate that there is a maximum remaining technical potential of around 1.5GW for small-scale hydro, including in rivers in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The viable remaining resource is less than 1GW due to economic and environmental constraints. This represents less than 1% of total generation capacity, and cannot therefore be a significant contributor to the UK's future generation plans.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 15/05/2023 15:03:52 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
