The Kapichira Power Station is a hydroelectric power plant at the Kapachira Falls on the Shire River in Malawi.It has an installed capacity of 128 megawatts (172,000 hp), enough to power over 86,000 homes, with four 32 megawatts (43,000 hp) generating sets.
According to the Indonesian newspaper, Investor Daily, the Batang Toru hydropower plant would reduce carbon emissions by around 1.6 million tonnes of CO 2 per year, or the equivalent of planting 12.3 million trees. [2] Batang Toru hydropower plant is meant to contribute to 15% of North Sumatra peak load electricity needs. The project is a part ...

Hydropower (from Ancient Greek ὑδρο-, "water"), also known as water power or water energy, is the use of falling or fast-running water to produce electricity or to power machines. This is achieved by converting the gravitational potential or kinetic energy of a water source to produce power. [1] Hydropower is a method of sustainable energy ...
For example, a low-head hydro power plant with hydrostatic head of few meters to few tens of meters can be classified either as an SHP or an LHP. [30] The other distinction between SHP and LHP is the degree of the water flow regulation: a typical SHP primarily uses the natural water discharge with very little regulation in comparison to an LHP.
Pallivasal Hydroelectric Project is the first hydroelectric project in Kerala, India.The project consists of 2 reservoirs, 2 dams, a diversion dam and a power house and is owned by the Kerala State Electricity Board.
The new power plant lies at the site of a smaller 1.6 megawatts (2,100 hp) hydroelectric power plant that was constructed in 1966 but went out of commission in 2002 due to disrepair and silting. [5] In 2009, a new feasibility study was carried out by Lahmeyer International, a German consulting engineering firm, paving way for the new power ...
The Kidatu power plant was built in two phases under the name of Great Ruaha Power Project in the 1970s for phase one and 1980s for phase two. Phase I was completed in 1975 starting with the construction of an earth-rock fill dam, a generating capacity of 2 x 51 MW, and 220 kV transmission line to Dar es Salaam via Morogoro .
