Hydro Power


Hydro power is a well established renewable energy power source, with over 6 per cent of the world's electricity supply generated from hydro stations.

There are a number of different configurations of plants used for hydro production. These include:

  • Reservoir based facilities involving a body of water being impounded behind a dam and released to generate electricity.


  • Low head 'run of river' facilities which generate electricity through the diversion of water from the main course to a generator.


  • High head 'run of river' facilities that generate electricity through the diversion of water from a high drop to a generator.




Novera Energy focuses on small-scale hydro facilities. We have ten schemes ranging from 600 kW to 4.5 MW. Three of these are reservoir based facilities and seven are run of river.
