The chance of success in implementing a new project in a water distribution network (WDN) significantly depends on the behaviour of the involved stakeholders. In this paper, the feasibility of installing the micro-turbines in WDNs for generating hydro-power energy is studied from the stakeholders' perspective. Stakeholders’ analysis (SA) and social network analysis (SNA) are performed to methodically recognise the environment and the relationships among stakeholders. 18 stakeholders at the local, regional, and national levels were identified and their representatives were interviewed. In SA, the power, interest, access to information, and satisfaction from the current condition of the system were evaluated for each stakeholder. The Water and Wastewater Company and Ministry of Energy were found as the stakeholders with the highest power and interest. Unexpectedly, the Regional Electricity Company was discovered with medium power and low access to information. In SNA, cooperative and non-cooperative relationships between stakeholders were analysed and an assessment was made for the role of each stakeholder in their social network, through four centrality metrics. The correlation between SA and SNA results suggests that SA factors could be estimated using the SNA metrics. |
