Macedonian President Vladimir Pesevski opens his country's small hydro resource. The Austrian firm Energie Zotter Bau was awarded a contract to build 16 hydro plants to be built by June 2012 in Macedonia for a total capacity of 6.62 MW and a total investment of 15 million euros. This results from three public solicitations in the country which the Austrian company won. The Ministry of Economy of the country also announced that there would be yet another concession auction to offer up to 40 small projects. 12 ESHA – European Small Hydropower Association Renewable Energy House, Rue d’Arlon 63-67 B - 1040 Brussels, Belgium Tel: +32.2.546.19.45, Fax: +32.2.546.19.47, E-mail: info@esha.be, www.esha.be ESHA is founding member of EREC - European Renewable Energy Council Source: HRW September 2009 The Czech firm Mavel s.a chosen to provide components to a number of projects in Europe. The Czech firm has been chosen to work on a number of projects throughout Europe. It will for example provide two turbines for the commissioning of a plant in Finland, at the Kuokkastenkoski site, a plant that will have a capacity of 1.76 MW. Another Finnish project which ordered components from the Czech manufacturer is for the refurbishment of the Finnholm power plant on the Ahtavanojoki river (862kW). Another example is the Lovosice –Pistany 1 project in the Czech Republic, where the company will provide four 662 kW turbines and other equipment for building a new powerplant.

The installed capacity at this site is of 330 kW. Source: HRW October 2009 Norwegian firm signs contract for a new small hydropower installation. The Norwegian hydropower company Tryggestad Kraft AS has named Rainpower ASA to supply it with material for commissioning a new hydropower plant. This new installation, called Litelbo, will be located in the municipality of Stranda, on the Langedalen river in Norway and will have 6.5 MW of installed capacity. The contract between the two companies will run untill October 2010. Source: HRW October 2009 A half-century old Aberdeenshire power plant to be brought back to life. A spokeswoman from the Aberdeenshire Council confirmed that the institution had commissioned an expert firm (Inspectahire, based in Aberdeen) to survey the Garlogie former power station, which has been a museum since the 1960s. The surveying, carried out using high tech remote-control camera units which inspected the ducts and tunnels of the installation, showed that the renovation of the facility would be feasible. It was suggested that this installation, once complete, would produce a potential of between 50-100kW of green electricity. This project would be part of a plan to refurbish small hydropower plants in Aberdeenshire. Source http://www.microhydropower.net/news/viewnews.php?ID=121 June 2009
