04 December 2019. VIENNA, 4 December 2019 - The United Nation Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has published Technical Guidelines for the Development of Small Hydropower Plants. Small hydropower (SHP) is increasingly seen as an important renewable energy solution to meet the challenge of the electrification of remote rural areas.
Microhydropower can be one of the most simple and consistent forms or renewable energy on your property. If you have water flowing through your property, you might consider building a small hydropower system to generate electricity. Microhydropower systems usually generate up to 100 kilowatts of electricity. Most of the hydropower systems used
