Advantages of MHP:

-       A proven technology that can be constructed by local engineering firms.

-       As a decentralized power generation facility that can be installed in remote areas to benefit rural electrification projects.

-       Can also be connected to the “Grid” to maximize its power generation capacity for Independent Power Producer or IPP.

-       Operates as stand-alone units during grid failures, thereby improving reliability of power.

-       Does not create social and environmental problems often associated with full scale hydropower development, such as biodiversity impacts, submergence of valleys and relocation of people.

-       Provides savings on foreign exchange and reduction of CO2 gas emissions associated with fossil fuels.
