Direction advantages

Advantages of small hydropower

Small hydropower plants help use local water resources for stable generation without burning fuel during electricity production.

Stable generation

Water flow can support more predictable output when the hydraulic unit is properly designed.

Renewable water resource

Projects use the energy of water flow and can improve the efficiency of existing water infrastructure.

Support for remote areas

Micro HPPs can complement electricity supply in rural and remote areas where local generation matters.

Long service life

With quality construction and regular maintenance, these facilities are designed for long-term operation.

Operating principle

How a micro HPP works

The diagram shows the basic energy path: from water flow to electricity delivery to a consumer or the grid.

  1. 1

    Water flow

    Water from a canal or watercourse is directed to the hydraulic unit.

  2. 2

    Hydraulic unit

    The structure stabilizes water delivery and prepares the flow for the turbine.

  3. 3

    Turbine

    The kinetic energy of water sets the turbine in motion.

  4. 4

    Generator

    Mechanical rotation is converted into electrical energy.

  5. 5

    Electricity delivery

    Electricity is delivered to the consumer or to the power grid.

Project lifecycle

Micro hydropower services

Yashil Energiya supports projects from engineering development to operation and technical maintenance.

1

System design

Development of hydraulic engineering and energy solutions based on site conditions.

2

Turnkey construction

Construction of a micro HPP as a complete engineered facility.

3

Installation and commissioning

Equipment installation, system checks and preparation for operation.

4

Monitoring and maintenance

Performance control, operational support and technical service.

Interaction model

From auction to consumer

The scheme preserves the existing participant logic without adding tariffs or financial terms.

  1. Auction winner

    The participant that receives the right to implement the project.

  2. Construction or operation

    Preparation and launch of the hydropower facility.

  3. Electricity generation

    The micro HPP generates electricity using water flow.

  4. REN JSC / Energosavdo

    The existing participant in the purchase scheme for generated electricity.

  5. Consumer

    Electricity is delivered to the end consumer or to the grid.

The legal names of participants are kept according to the current translations.
