The objective of the project is the generation of zero carbon emission electricity from hydropower and the displacement of the same amount of electricity from the Northwest China Power Grid (NWPG) that is mainly dominated by electricity derived from coal-fired power plants.

Alternate Power Systems Pvt. Ltd. has constructed a run-of-river 6.5 MW mini hydropower plant in Sri Lanka. The project activity involves generation of up to 20,000 MWh clean electricity annually from a small-scale hydropower plant. The generated power is then supplied to the Sri Lankan national utility grid.
