Low impact or small hydroelectric

 

Hydroelectric power is a popular form of generation the world over, accounting for a significant portion of all electricity.

"Small hydro" refers to hydroelectric power generation suited to small community or industrial needs - in this case, facilities less than or equal to 30 megawatts in size.  "Low impact hydro" refers to hydroelectric power that has a minimal effect on the surrounding environment and wildlife.  All hydroelectric energy sources used by The Energy Cooperative are small and/or low impact, and all low-impact hydro facilities we use are certified by the Low Impact Hydropower Institute.
