FAQ – Mini/Micro Hydro

What power range do you target?

Micro (<100 kW) to mini-hydro (up to a few MW) depending on H & Q.

Do you handle civil works?

Yes, through EPCm supervision with drawings, quantities, QA/QC and tests.

Can it be coupled with solar?

Yes, hybrid control (hydro priority) and LCOE optimisation.
