MARKET INTRODUCTION

Run-of-the-river power systems are hydroelectric systems that harvest the energy from flowing water to generate electricity in the absence of a large dam and reservoir"which is how they differ from conventional impoundment hydroelectric facilities. A small dam may be used to ensure enough water goes in the penstock, and possibly some storage (for same day use). Run-of-the-River primarily uses the natural flow rate of water to generate power"instead of the power of water falling a large distance.
