Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!
Micro-Hydro Power Institutions
Required Institutions
- Financing entities - banks often do not understand the financial potential of mhp
- Hardware providers - Turbines and controllers are not produced in every country. Import may be difficult.
- Authority of electricity - usually is controls issues of new electrification. Often there is no experience with isolated grids or electricity feed-in.
- Management of mhp schemes; either locally or centrally, whereby the later probably works only for bigger schemes.
Some countries require to follow laws for water use.
A demonstration of know how and applicability may be the first step.
Training engaged and capable key persons in areas where mhp is already established and working, can create the foundation for local know how.
Micro-hydro Power (MHP) is scale-able and mostly craftsmanship. Local workshops can learn how to manufacture (small) turbines. Local agents can be trained how to identify potential locations. Installation and mhp setup can be trained on the spot to certain entities.
