Saldanha Small Hydroelectric Project
Small scale renewable energy
generation and Amazon forest
conservation
The Project is a run-of-river Small
Hydroelectric Plant (SHP). The SHP Saldanha is located in the Saldanha River, northern region of Brazil. The plant has two turbo-generators sets of 2.5 MW each, totalling 5 MW of installed capacity. This type of project results in emission reductions through displacing grid supplied electricity, which has associated
thermoelectric energy (based on fossil
fuels).
