Power is generated through water gravitational energy, driving turbines triggering generators producing electricity.

Installed capacity 3.0 MW. “Run of the river” plant configuration with two 3-Phase Synchronous Generators with horizontal mounting, rotation with static excitation (1,800KVA, 225rpm), and two Bulbo turbines and Kaplan Rotor designed to optimise existing hydraulic potential of river, causing minimal flooding (7.09-ha, power density of 42.3W/m2), water head of 273m and water flow of 41.12 m³/s. 

 Project includes the construction of 158.65m concrete dam with a 90m Free soper (Creager) type spillway, water intake, loading chamber, engine room at the foot of the dam, a 10m tailrace, substation, & reservoir. Energy generated will be connected to the Brazilian National Grid (SIN) via specific distribution network with a voltage level of 23.1 kV, located 50m from the substation in the municipality of Augusto Pestana, RS. 

 Safeguards to uphold principals of human rights, promote gender equality & women’s rights, community health, safety and working conditions, respecting cultural heritage, indigenous people, land tenure rights, environmental management programs as mandated by law, to ensure protection of water, soil, fauna and flora, waste management and installation of a Permanent Preservation Area (APP) of 7.20 ha with additional tree plantations and socio educational programs.
