Small Hydro Power Project
The Changtan Hydro Power Project in Guizhou Province - China

The Changtan Hydro Power Project in Guizhou Province is a small-scale reservoir-based hydropower project in China. Total installed capacity of the project is 5 MW, consisting of two 2.5 MW turbines, with a predicted power supply of 19,501 MWh per annum.

The project utilises the hydrological resources of the Shiqian River in a small scale hydropower facility that generates low emission electricity for the South China Power Grid. The electricity currently generated by the grid is relatively carbon intensive. This project is expected to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by an estimated 16,447 t CO2e per year during the first crediting period.

• The project is contributing to sustainable development of China

• Increases employment opportunities in the area
• Enhances the local investment environment and therefore improves the local economy
• Diversifies the sources of electricity generation, which is important for meeting growing energy demands and the transition away from diesel and coal-supplied electricity generation
• Makes greater use of renewable hydroelectric resources
• Contributes to poverty alleviation through income and employment generation by employing people throughout the project operation
