    4. WEC analysis source: World Energy Council Hydropower accounts for 19% of the world electricity supply, utilising one third of its economically exploitable potential A question remains over the advantage of smaller hydro schemes over larger ones It is believed that generally hydro power is competitive, when all factors are taken into account Since the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was developed about 30 years ago many studies have been conducted using the LCA approach to analyse the environmental impacts of all sorts of activities, including energy production and use Hydropower has the greatest life cycle production factor (30-100 or higher) The similar factor for the solar cell electricity 2-6. The other electricity production methods have the factors in the range of 4-20.

    5. SWEDEN vs FINLAND FINLAND Small and mini hydro below 10 MW 284 MW capacity and production 1,2 TWh/a at the moment 320 MW refurbishment potential of the old ones 460 MW new potential in the mini and small hydro The preserved potential is not included in the figures SWEDEN Potential below 1,5 MW, which allows to utilize the green certificate 425 MW capacity and production 1,7 TWh/a 250 MW refurbishment potential of the old ones in 2000 plants 205 MW new potential
