SHP Definition

Small hydro is the development of hydroelectric power on a scale serving a small community or industrial plant. SHP plants have generally a generating capacity of up to 10 megawatts (MW). 

SHP Applicability

Typically companies and/or urban areas located near a river, brook, and/or stream with good water flow (running of water) and a head (height of fall of water) of one meter or more can exploit SHP based renewable energy for own use and/or put rest on the Net.

Several thousands of locations apply already for the BENELUX.
