Small hydro power plants have been identified as strategic energy options for effective socio-economic and industrial development of rural areas. The projects are co-sponsored by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), in collaboration with the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN).
ECN and UNIDO have signed a memorandum with the International Centre for Small Hydropower (IC-SHP), Hangzhou, China, for further cooperation in exploiting small/mini hydro power through technical assistance, training and establishment of demonstration projects.
