Figure 5

Cumulative energy gain from run-of-river hydro (blue) and wind farms (red) relative to the spatial overlap between energy infrastructure and conservation priorities under five prioritization scenarios. Projects falling between Zonation ranks 0.7 (dotted vertical line) and 0.9 have high overlap with spatial conservation priorities in each scenario. Wind farms with low overlap with conservation priorities (<0.7) have the potential produce significantly more electricity compared to run-of-river hydro projects.
