Run-of-river hydroelectricity (ROR) or run-of-the-river hydroelectricity is a type of hydroelectric generation plant whereby little or no water storage is provided. Run-of-the-river power plants may have no water storage at all or a limited amount of storage, in which case the storage reservoir is referred to as pondage.
The following page lists hydroelectric power stations that generate power using the run-of-the-river method. This list includes most power stations that are larger than 100 MW in maximum net capacity, which are currently operational or under construction.
The Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project is a 456 MW peaking run-of-the-river hydroelectric project in Nepal. [1] It is the largest hydroelectric project in Nepal, operating since July 2021. [2] [3] It is sited on the Tamakoshi River (also spelled Tama Koshi), a tributary of the Sapt Koshi river (also spelled Saptakoshi), near the Nepal ...
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has granted preliminary approval for plans for the $2.1 billion hydroelectric project along the Susquehanna.
Jhimruk Khola Hydropower Station (Nepali: झिम्ररुक खोला जलविद्युत आयोजना) is a run-of-river hydro-electric plant located in Pyuthan District of Nepal. The flow from Jhimruk River, a tributary of West Rapti River, is used to generate 12 MW electricity and annual energy of 72 GWh. The flow is ...
The flow from Sunkoshi River is used to generate 10.05 MW electricity. The plant is owned and developed by Government owned company, the Nepal Electricity Authority. The plant started generating electricity since 1972 ( 2028 BS). [1] [2] The power station is connected to the national grid. The project was built as a gift from China to Nepal. [3]
The Tapovan Vishnugad Hydropower Plant is a 520 MW run-of-river hydroelectric project being constructed on Dhauliganga River in Chamoli District of Uttarakhand, India. The plant is expected to generate over 2.5 TWh of electricity annually. [1] Tapovan Vishnugad is NTPC's second hydro power project since its foray into the sector.
An additional defining feature of small hydro is known as run-of-river, or that the physical impact of the project is relatively minuscule compared to major hydroelectric dams which require a water storage lake. Little water is stored behind the project, if at all, and the river is usually able to continue flowing.
