This project involves the construction of a Small Hydroelectric Power Plant connected to Brazilian National Interconnected Grid and a regional development plan with improvements to infrastructure for consumers & municipalities. Project being developed with stakeholder inclusion and socio-environmental programs to directly contributing towards 

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

Installed capacity 1.3MW. “Run of the river” plant configuration with seven turbo generators (250kVA, 720 rpm) and seven Kaplan “S” turbines with moving rotor and guide blades designed to optimise existing hydraulic potential of river, causing minimal flooding (0.68 ha), power density of 191 W/m2), water head of 266m and water flow of 7.76m3/s. 

 Project includes the construction of concrete dam with 60m Creager-type spillway, water intake, 440m approach channel, loading chamber, engine room, 38m tailrace, substation, & reservoir. Energy generated will be connected to the Brazilian National Grid (SIN) via existing distribution cables (23.1kV) with connection point located 20m from the SHP, Augusto Pestana. 

 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.
