1 Small hydropower in the province of Jaén (Spain): base of local sustainable development Blas Ogayar Fernández Universidad de Jaén. IDEA José A. La Cal Herrera Agener

2 Index: 1. Introduction 2. Study. Methodology and Phases 3. Small hydropower potential in the province of Jaén 4. Power stations: profitability 5. Other uses: tourism, educational, 6. Conclusions

3 Object: To study the potential and possibilities of of recovery technical, economical and environmental of of small hydropower plants in in the province of of Jaén, located at at the south of of Spain Study of of the potential and viability for the recovery of of small hydropower plants in in the province of of Jaén, realized by the University of of Jaén (Electrical Department) and Agener (Local Energy Agency)

4 Where is Jaén?

5 Starting point: Distributed generation model with renewable energies in the province of Jaén : photovoltaic, biomass, small hydro and wind energy

6 To Analyse the current situation of the small hydropower plants in the province of Jaén Phase 1 To study the technical, economical and environmental viability Phase 2 To look for other alternatives uses like tourism or educational Phase 3

7 PHASE 1: Methodology: Identification of of existing and that have been existed plants Location of of new emplacements Real situation of of facilities (civil engineering works, electromechanical equipments, ) Analysis of of the administrative situation (environment, hydrology, owners, )

8 Results Number Small hydropower plants working at the moment MW Small hydropower plants totally missing 25 Floods Roads Flow reduction. Small hydropower plants included into study 40 Without possibility of recuperation(21). A brief field report has been emitted for each one. With possibility of recuperation(19). A technicalfinancial report has been emitted for each one.
