Over time, Terawatt has been developing the activity of MHPs – Micro Hydroelectric Power Plants.
With a strong experience and know-how in this field, we can say with great certainty that the advantages and motivation for investing in the construction of MHPs are:
- High efficiency technology level (70% a 90%)
- High capacity factor (P/P max), more than 50%, high compared to solar (10%) and wind energy (30%)
- Easily predictable resource
- Soft intermittence and chance rates (small fluctuations on a day to day basis)
It has been a very reliable and mature technology for over 40 years. Since it essentially uses hydropower, its environmental impact is not very significant.
