Project description
The Eyguières mini-hydroelectric plant project on the Craponne irrigation canal in Eyguières was carried out within the framework of an economic interest group (GIE) formed between ASCO des arrosants de la Crau, the owner of the irrigation canal, and SCP.
This facility consists of a water intake, a DN2600 mm GRP penstock, and a 180 m² plant building for equipment installation. The turbine is designed to handle a nominal flow of 15 m³/s, with a head of 12 meters of water column. Its power is 1.5 MW and the annual production is estimated at 5 GWh (enough to cover the yearly consumption of 700 residents).
