Small hydro power plants
 
     


Within the renewable energy sector, the GUASCOR GROUP is a specialist in promoting, constructing and operating hydro power plants of up to 50 MW.


Hydraulic energy, the most important resource that exists in nature, represents the cheapest, most competitive, most available and least environmentally damaging energy source that exists on the planet and it is a key factor in the economic development of any country.

More than twenty years of experience in this field, together with a deep knowledge of the techniques used in the design and construction of small hydro power plants and the use of state-of-the art electromechanical equipment, turbines and generators, the latest generation of control equipment, allow us to guarantee the results for each project.
