Small Hydro

Big Potential for Small Power Plants

Small Hydro has become more popular recently, and one of the reasons for this is that these power stations contribute considerably to no emission energy supply. Governments around the world regard small hydro power as a quick, profitable, and environmentally friendly contribution to increased power supply. About 750 Gigawatts of hydro power has been developed worldwide, with about 47 gigawatts coming from small hydro.
