Small power plant of Licq-Athérey (Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France). 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]
A pico hydro system made by the Sustainable Vision project from Baylor University [1]. Pico hydro is a term used for hydroelectric power generation of under 5 kW. These generators have proven to be useful in small, remote communities that require only a small amount of electricity – for example, to power one or two fluorescent light bulbs and a TV or radio in 50 or so homes.

The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...
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 ...
Zengamina is a small hydroelectric power generation plant near Kalene Hill, Ikelenge District in northwestern Zambia. It was built between 2004 and 2008 at a cost of about $3 million, or $4,285 per kilowatt of power. [1]
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. [3]
Ndugutu HEPS is a run-of-river mini-hydro power plant whose planned maximum installed capacity is 4.8 MW. [4] The project is owned by KMR East Africa Company [2] (also Ndugutu Power Company Uganda Limited), [1] the project developers. The construction of this power station was budgeted at US$15 million, with US$3.2 million in GetFit concessions ...
Kikagati Power Station is a mini-hydropower plant, with initial planned capacity installation of 10 MW (13,000 hp). The project involved the construction of a dam, creating a 4,000 square metres (0.99 acres) reservoir lake. The new reservoir lies partly within Tanzania.
