The map shows the untapped potential
of hydroelectric power that would be technically
possible. Each value concerns one federal state
and refers to its entire area. A substantial further
potential exists, particularly in Baden-Württemberg,
and also, to a smaller extent, in the other federal
states of southern and central Germany. Hydroelectric
power naturally plays only a minor role in the flat
regions adjoining the North Sea and the Baltic.
The values are based on figures which
are published on the Internet by "Internationales
Wirtschaftsforum Regenerative Energien" (IWR). For
the map the difference was determined between the
potential technically possible and the potential
currently exploited. The values represent this difference
divided by the area of the federal state. The unit
of measurement is explained in the glossary (MWh/km²a).
