Micro hydro is considered an environmentally-friendly form of energy production. Electricity is generated by channelling water from a stream or river into a turbine. The water channelled through causes the turbine to rotate, creating electricity through the use of magnets and copper wiring.  Unlike larger forms of hydroelectric power, micro hydro does not have as many lasting effects on the environment. While larger hydroelectric power stations often dam major rivers to create huge reservoirs which forever change the landscape, no such reservoir is needed with micro hydro power generation.  Micro hydro can be a very efficient form of energy and can be used in places where the flow is as little as 2 U.S. gallons (7.6 liters) per minute.

We can provide 1 kw and above microhydro solutions.  Here is a 5 kw project sample:

Microhydro can generate significant amounts of electricity as it runs 24 hours a day.  Contact us to discuss your microhydro project.
