 Nearly 93 per cent of the total installed capacity in Sri Lanka (both hydro and thermal) is in the hands of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and only around seven per cent is in the hands of Independent Power Producers. Sri Lanka generates two thirds of its electricity from water, and in 2002, after five years of failed monsoons, major cities were facing 1-4 hour preplanned power cuts due to low water levels.

 The Turkish Government has gone through a recent program of privatisation and has sold off the operating rights to a large number of power generation and distribution facilities. Turkey does not generate enough power to meet its own requirements and has predicted that by 2010 it will only produce 30% of its demand, the rest being made up through import. 40% of the current installed electricity generating capacity is hydro related. There are 6 principal hydro electric generation facilities in Turkey: Tortum: 5.8MW x 2, 7.7MW x 2 Hirfanli: 32MW x 4 Hasan Ugurlu: 129MW x 4 Keban: 183MW x 8 Kesikkopru: 46.2MW x 2 Gokcekaya: 104.4MW x 3 |

 Itaipu in Brazil is the world's largest power plant of any kind. The plant is located on the Parana River 14 km north of the International Bridge linking Foz do Iguacu, Brazil and Ciudad del Este, Paraguay. Planning for the project started in the 1960s, construction started in January 1975, and the first of eighteen 700-MW turbine/generators went on-line in May 1984. The total direct plant investment is estimated to be $11-bil. In 1997, Itaipu generated a record 89.2 TWh of electricity and provided 79% of Paraguay's total electricity supply and just over a quarter of Brazil's total supply. Itaipu was an immense undertaking. The main dam has a height of 196 m and the construction required 12.6-mil cubic meters of concrete -- 15 times the amount used in the Channel Tunnel -- and 478,000 tons of steel. The various dams have a total length of 7,744 m while the water flow through each turbine penstock is equivalent to the normal flow of the Seine River in France. Itaipu was going to be even larger, but plans to add two more 700-MW turbines at a cost of $190-mil were canceled in June 1999.

 Energy from water (hydro) is a very important source of electric power in Tanzania currently accounting for about 67% of total available installed capacity. Tanzania’s total hydroelectric energy potential is in excess of 4.7GW of installed capacity or about 3.2GW of firm capacity. Of this potential installed capacity only about 5% has actually been developed. |
