Mini/ micro hydro power projects

Mini and micro hydropower systems harness the energy of flowing water to generate electricity on a smaller scale than traditional hydroelectric plants. Typically, mini hydropower systems generate between 100 kW to 1 MW, while micro systems produce less than 100 kW. These systems are ideal for rural or remote areas where access to the main power grid is limited.
The technology is relatively simple, often utilizing a turbine or waterwheel to convert the kinetic energy of water into electrical energy. Because they have a smaller environmental footprint, mini and micro hydropower projects can be integrated into existing waterways with minimal disruption to ecosystems.
These systems provide a sustainable and renewable energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. Additionally, they contribute to energy independence and can stimulate local economies by providing jobs in installation and maintenance. Overall, mini and micro hydropower represent a promising solution for clean energy generation.
