Description
This working paper includes answers to frequently asked questions relevant for stakeholders of micro and mini hydropower, including government, utilities, developers, and communities, seeking to interconnect to the central grid. The paper refers to the situation where a micro hydropower plant (MHP) is originally built to supply electricity to a local mini-grid. Once the national grid arrives, the MHP can feed either all produced electricity to the national grid, or only excess electricity that remains after providing to consumers connected to the mini-grid. This means that consumers that are connected to the mini-grid can continue to receive electricity from the MHP system, and they can also partially or fully be supplied by the national grid.
