Private hydropower schemes are on a cliff edge in Wales due to a decision to withdraw business rate relief for some projects from April, according to the British Hydropower Association.
In Wales, it is estimated it would cost less than £500,000 a year.
The Welsh government said over half of Wales energy needs were met through renewable sources.
It said this included a 2% contribution from 363 hydropower projects, and it had no evidence of any projects ceasing to operate due to unsustainable costs .
