Australia tried this years ago.
It’s been an expensive boondoggle.
Sadly they don’t have any rule of law, otherwise it might turn out to be something worth investing in.
No mention of what method is used, costs, etc..

It seems to me that you build a dam, get a very fine screen and let gravity provide the energy.
Since Ethiopa is constructing a huge dam upstream on the Blue Nile which will impact Egypt, this makes sense.
Egypt is very much opposed to the Ethiopan Project.
How much water from the Nile flows into the Mediterranean?
This is part of a major development in Egypt, reported here:

Sokhna is planned to become a big free trade zone (like Dubai), right on the Suez Canal, and just an hour’s drive from Cairo.
Not only does the Geography offer great potential, the Egyptians have partnered with Dubai Ports World to develop the area, and agreed to let Dubai Ports World administer the area, using Dubai-like rules.
