With Uganda and East Africa in general still facing power crisis, small micro-hydro, non conventional plants may be planned to work during the peak demand. Integrated generation and distribution for rural area on fuel availability, small hydro capacity on run of the river, shall improve the availability and reduce energy cost.
Small hydro power installations have the potential to provide a renewable supply of energy to people in remote, hilly communities, far from the national grid.
Over the last few decades, there has been a growing realisation in developing countries that micro-hydro schemes have an important role to play in the economic development of remote rural areas, especially mountainous ones. Micro-hydro schemes can provide power for industrial, agricultural and domestic uses through direct mechanical power or by the coupling of the turbine to a generator to produce electricity. Eatt comes on board in order to facilitate such a sector of power distribution.
