In September 2010, I visited a friend Mr Cai Un Yen who own 2x 2MW Mini Hydro Power Plant in Ning De, Fujian Province. The Hydro Plant is located on top of Hong Kuk Mountain slightly over 2 hours drive from Ning De town. Upon reaching the Mountain, we have to take a wooden boat crossing the beautiful lake to go to the Power House housing water turbine generators that generate 2 x 2MW electric supply which connected directly to the main grid. The set up is surprisingly simple though the construction of the plant could be very challenging in view of its location. The operation of the hydro plant is only manned by two technicians overseeing the performance of the plant through quite a sophisticated Computerised Control Centers. The cost per mega watts is about $1.5M per Megawatts. It took about 2 years to build due to logistic problems.
