The Micro hydro power (MHP) plant project has enabled the construction of innovative and sustainable infrastructure for a local fruit farm and tourist site, creating a totally self-sufficient agro-tourism attraction by generating sustainable energy as an alternative to grid energy. This complements the Costa Má project philosophy of self-sufficiency and the overall concept of the farm - total self-sufficiency (energetic, therapeutic and food).

Energy booster: a new opportunity for energy recovery in urban water networks
An innovative technology has been developed by a working group of Federico II in Naples, ITALY. One of the major obstacles to the exploitation of hydropower plant (HPP) technology in water distribution networks is represented by the cost of the civil waterworks for housing electromechanical devices, piping and electronic controls.
We are delighted to announce that our partners SMPGA received the “Prix de l’innovation de la gestion de l’eau dans les collectivités” at Carrefour L'Eau 2018 event.
On December 19, 2019, a reverse pump was commissioned on raw water at the entrance to SMPGA's drinking water station in St Pair sur Mer in Normandy; a first in FRANCE!
The PAT generates almost 7 kW/h of hydropower that re-supplies the plant to reduce its energy consumption. Thanks to Powerturbine and Veolia for their technical support as part of our European project.
