El General Hydroelectric Project (EGHP) is a hydro power plant consisting of two turbines with a combined capacity of 40 MW, and an average annual net generation of approximately 198,380 MWh.

The power plant supplies electricity to Brazil's National Interconnected System, displacing thermal electricity sources from fossil fuels. It also contributes to environmental sustainability, to meet the growing energy demand on Rio Grande do Sul state, and to decrease external energy dependency.

The project generates electricity from a renewable source. Unlike large hydroelectric facilities, Sanatana I, a plant with an installed capacity of 14.75 MW, has virtually no environmental impact. This project uses natural resources efficiently and contributes to sustainable development in Brazil.

Maracanã is a run of river small hydropower plant with an installed capacity of 10.656 MW, located in Nova Marilândia, Brazil. It reduces an average of 17,183 tCO2 per year. The project activity has several social and environmental programs like providing historical data over soil and water quality of its area of influence…

The project consists in two renewable energy generation plants: Albano Machado with 3.06 MW of installed power and Rio dos Índios with 8.10 MW of installed power. Both stations are Small Hydro Power Plants (SHP`s) located in Trindade do Sul and Nonoai cities in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.

Chacayes run of river hydro project is a 111 MW power plant located in the Cachapoal Valley of Chile. Operating since 2011, it has played an important role meeting country’s increasing demand of electricity, reducing CO2 emissions and contributing to the economic growth and sustainable development of local communities.

San Clemente is a run of the river hydroelectric power plant of 5.5 MW of installed capacity, located in Maule Region, Chile. It supplies the electricity demand of over 4,000 people. The project developer, Colbún S.A., works closely with the neighboring communities to create shared value, promoting education and transferri…
