Small hydro There are 256 small, mini or micro hydro plants in operation( up to 10 MW), with a total capacity of 332 MW. A further 28 are under construction(70 MW), and 46 are planned (223 MW). Since July 2010, there has been a significant increase in interest in small hydro projects. Permitted projects with a sound tecnical analysis remain unsold for days rather than weeks.

In East-Central Europe, hydroelectricity already represents a substantial source of power in some countries such as Albania (96% of total electricity generation), Croatia (59%) or Romania (37%). Most of the potential for future hydropower expansion lies in Romania, Bulgaria and Albania, as well as in the former Yugoslav republics. But despite a very large potential for future expansion, as yet, these countries have found it difficult to secure financing for such projects.

Romania sells 16 hydros in privatization auction

Government utility Hidroelectrica S.A. in Romania sold 16 small hydropower projects totaling 5.8 mw to three purchasers in a privatization auction.

Hidroelectrica said it received bids totaling 11 million euros (US$16.9 million) for the five groups of small hydro projects.

Winning bidders and their acquisitions include:

  1. Wienstrom GmbH of Austria: Ilfov River Basin group in Dambovita County, consisting of 220-kw Adunati, 140-kw Bratesti, 196-kw Bunget 1, 220-kw Bunget 2, and 182-kw Ilfoveni;
  2. Romenergo of Romania: Suha Mare River Basin group, consisting of 108-kw Gainesti, 241-kw Malini, 548-kw Poiana Marului, 273-kw Suha Mare, and 448-kw Valeni; and Suha Mica River Basin group, 713-kw Slatina and 54-kw Suvarita, all in Suceava County;
  3. Consortium of SC H&M Co., SRL Negresti Oas, and SC Lescaci COM of Romania: Fenes River Basin group in Alba County, consisting of 1-mw Fenes 1 and -mw Fenes 2, and Sovata River Basin group in Mures County, 160-kw Sacadat 1 and 330-kw Sacadat 2. Hidroelectrica said it planned to speed up the privatization process for 86 other small hydros to be sold

HIDROELECTRICA
HYDRO ELECTRIC RENOVATION & MODERNISATION PROJECTS

Hidroelectrica is the commercial company in charge of generation and selling of electric power, power system services, raw water supply and water management services.

At the end of 2000, SC Hidroelectrica SA had a capacity of 5803 MW, holding installations in 135 power plants and 296 units, 15 of which in micro-hydropower plants. The company is organized in 10 branches and generates about 25-30% of the country's production. The year 1998 is considered as a reference year for Hidroelectrica: the highest power generation ever since the creation of this sector. 40% of Hidroelectrica's output is from the Iron Gates Hydropower plant.

The investment program of Hidroelectrica is designed to start the construction of new capacities that will add 78 MW and about 360 million kW to the company's output in the following two years. The continuation of upgrading works on the Iron Gates 1 hydro power plant is also planned for 2001, when the second upgraded group will be started and works on a third group will begin. Upgrading works will also start on the Iron Gates 2 and Bicaz hydro power plants.

[Note :-Modernisination projects carry significant risks associated with higher anticpated maintenance levels in all future operations.]
