Lesson
Reliable small hydropower plants and economically efficient renewable energy sources can contribute to decarbonize island-state economies. Other renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic, floating solar photovoltaic, wind and ocean energy complement the existing SHPs and help to diversify generation mix. It also helps to lower the cost of electricity production and improve utilities’ financial performance

Cost overrun can potentially result in a decrease of intended benefits and lower achievement of project outcome. Appropriate estimation of project costs, including contingencies, at appraisal helps in reducing the cost overrun during implementation that could have serious implications on project implementation, given limited funding resources. For instance, a more rigorous consideration of design, including alternative designs and least-cost options, are important to help improve a project’s financial planning and accuracy of cost estimates.
