Micro-hydro• Costs:
– $750 to $5,000 per kW • huge range depends on local labor contribution, site
topography– $0.04/kWh to $0.20/kWh
• Potential: Thailand – 700 MW+. Similar or greater potential in Laos, Vietnam. China
• Capacity factor: >0.5• Issues: important to ensure adequate flows
(especially dry-season).

Biomass• Costs:
– $1300 to $2,000 per kW (?)– $0.04/kWh to $0.12/kWh (?)
• Fuels: bagasse, rice husk, wood waste• Potential: Thailand – 7,000 MW (Ministry of
Energy figure). • Capacity factor: typically >0.5• Issues: air pollution (particulates), food vs. fuel.
