  3. Characteristics of PowerProduction in Mexico

  4. A Comparison of Characteristics of PowerProductionbetweenMexico and the USA

  5. Actual and ForecastedPowerProduction in Mexico

  6. Actual and ForecastedEnergyProduction in Mexico

  7. Actual and ForecastedEnergyProductionCosts in Mexico

  8. TheNeedfor Small, Mini and Micro HydropowerProduction in Mexico

  9. HydropowerPlantsClassification • Byinstalledcapacity: • Micro hydropowerplants: lessthan 100 kW • Mini hydropowerplants: lessthan 1 MW • Small hydropowerplants: lessthan 30 MW • Conventionalhydropowerplants: biggerthan • 30 MW • By head: • Low head: 2-20 m • Medium head: 20-150 m • High head: more than 150 m

  10. MainWatersheds of Mexico

  11. HydropowerPotentialCurrentlynot in Use

  12. Diagnosis of Small, Mini and Micro HydropowerProduction in Mexico • There are 34 small and mini hydropowerplantswith total installedcapacity of 109 MW and withenergyproduction of 479 GW-hr per year. • Therewere 9 new smallhydropowerplantsprojectswith a total installedcapacity of 139 MW • Theestimatedpotentialforsmallhydropowerproductionis of 3200 MW, just in thestates of Chiapas, Veracruz, Tabasco and Puebla • Anexpectedinvestment of 3 million of US dollarswillbe done in theperiod 2005-2015 in hydropowerprojects

  13. Conclusions • Thereis a needtodoublethepower and • energyproduction in thenext 20 years in • Mexico • Theproduction of fossilfuelsisrapidly • declining in Mexico • Thereisalmost 76% hydropowerpotentialto • bedeveloped in Mexico • In theyear 2011 thedevelopment of thisarea • of opportunityisalmostforgotten, even • thoughthereis a hugepotentialfor • development in thisarea
