ROR Hydro projects don't resemble conventional hydro electric facilities at all. Instead, our facilities divert only a portion of stream flow, leaving plenty of water to protect fish and wildlife, as well as allow for recreational uses. Additionally, our set ups allow high water flows to pass freely downstream and perform important ecosystem functions. Essentially, a run-of-river hydro electric facility uses the flow of a stream as it naturally occurs. Therefore, this type of facility requires little or no reservoir capacity for water storage, meaning we build no dams.
