How much does hydro-power cost compared to other energy sources

The cost of hydro-power is highly variable and depends on the specific location in terms of the resources available to generate the power. Generally speaking, hydro-power costs less than most energy sources such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy. The cost of hydro-power is generally lower due to a lack of fuel costs and fewer needs for back-up fuel sources. Additionally, the capital costs associated with hydro-power are considerably less than that of other sources as they do not require as much technology or physical infrastructure to generate electricity. The main cost associated with hydro-power is in the form of environmental impact assessments and resource management costs, as well as the upfront costs associated with initial construction of the necessary infrastructure. Therefore, in comparison to other energy sources, the cost of hydro-power may be relatively low.
