An 1895 hydroelectric plant near Telluride, Colorado. Small hydro is the development of hydroelectric power on a scale suitable for local community and industry, or to contribute to distributed generation in a regional electricity grid. [1] Exact definitions vary, but a "small hydro" project is less than 50 megawatts (MW), and can be further ...
Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces from 5 kW to 100 kW of electricity using the natural flow of water. Installations below 5 kW are called pico hydro . [ 1 ] These installations can provide power to an isolated home or small community, or are sometimes connected to electric power networks, particularly where ...
The average capacity factor of all commercial nuclear power plants in the world in 2020 was 80.3% (83.1% the prior year) but this includes outdated Generation II nuclear power plants and countries like France which run their nuclear power plants load following which reduces the capacity factor.

An example would be the 1995 1,436 MW La Grande-1 generating station. Previous upstream dams and reservoirs were part of the 1980s James Bay Project. There are also small and somewhat-mobile forms of a run-of-the-river power plants. One example is the so-called electricity buoy, a small floating hydroelectric power plant. Like most buoys, it is ...
The power station is owned and operated by the two Sri Lankan energy companies that developed the power station, over a twenty-months period, from January 2017 until October 2018. [1] The cost of construction is reported at US$8 million (USh29.6 billion). [1] The main contractor on this project was KSJ Construction of Sri Lanka.
7.2 MW. Annual generation. 25 GWh. Denawaka Ganga Mini Hydro Power[1][2] Project is a run of river mini hydro power project located in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka. The install capacity of the project is 7.2 MW and the annual generation is 25GWh. The generated energy is fed into the national electric grid of Sri Lanka.
Power Station. Installed capacity. 1,100 MW [2] Annual generation. 4,600 GWh [1] The Site C Dam is a hydroelectric dam currently under construction on the Peace River, 14 kilometers southwest of Fort St. John in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. It is located approximately 80 kilometers downstream from the W. A. C. Bennett Dam.
The Mbakaou Power Station is an operational 1.48 megawatts (1,980 hp) mini hydroelectric power station in Cameroon. Commercially commissioned in December 2021, the renewable energy project was jointly developed by the Government of Cameroon, in collaboration with IED Invest, an independent power producer (IPP) based in France, and Eneo Cameroon S.A., the Cameroonian national electric ...
