Micro-mini Dams
Hedcor, a subsidiary of Aboitiz Power Corporation is the leading developer of run- off-river hydropower plants in the Philippines for 37 years. It develops energy sources that are locally available, can be constantly replenished, and have little adverse effects to the environment. The Run-off River Scheme is a type of hydropower generation that uses the natural flow and elevation drop of a river to generate electricity.
The company has developed and built several hydro power facilities across the country. The host communities where these hydropower plants are constructed benefit from the paid taxes, social and infrastructure projects, reforestation activities, adoption of rivers and collection of waste, as well as employment.
