Most alarming, the country's shrinking glaciers threaten drinking water supplies and hydroelectric plants.

Pumped storage plants, like other hydroelectric plants, can respond to load changes within seconds.

It also follows the partial nationalisation of the electric grid in 2010, including hydroelectric plants.

A cascade of hydroelectric plants was constructed on the upper course of the river in 1948.

Hydroelectric plants are by their nature limited to operating at sites with sufficient water flow.

The plant was immediately classified as critically endangered because of threats from mining and a hydroelectric project.

A small parking lot nearby contains a kiosk with information about the falls and a hydroelectric project.

The dam was primarily built as hydroelectric project for supply of water to turbines of electric power generating station.

Some of the outflow of the lake has been diverted for a hydroelectric project.

Later, the region was identified as an ideal spot for a hydroelectric project.

The project includes a hydroelectric scheme to provide electricity.

An old dam associated with iron works has recently been converted to a small scale hydroelectric scheme.

It gave consumers the option of a 100% renewable electricity supply sourced from wind, solar and small hydroelectric schemes.

Hydroelectric schemes, some of which were built decades ago, accounted for the biggest single slice at about 1.3 per cent.

Reservoirs created by hydroelectric schemes often provide facilities for water sports, and become tourist attractions themselves.

The local economy centres on pulp and paper; the city has a pulp-milling centre as well as a major hydroelectric station.

The $62 million construction of the dam and hydroelectric station began in 1958.

For a long time, a neighbouring hydroelectric station was served by a siding from this local stop.

Industrial plants and factories were looted, including the pulp and paper mill, hydroelectric station, granite and brick factories, furniture factory, and other facilities.

The hydroelectric station wide by high at the foot of the dam was designed for six main groups of turbines, each supplied with water by a vertical conduit.

The stored water ran down a tube to a conventional hydroelectric turbine at the base of the cliffs.

A hydroelectric turbine provides the property with energy and a rental income.

Once a hydroelectric turbine was fitted on land, the device generated a kilowatt of electricity a day.

The extension has space for five hydroelectric turbine generators with four installed as of 2001.

In 2001, four of the twelve pumps were converted to hydroelectric turbine generators capable of producing 3 megawatts of power each.
