A consortium led by Norwegian green energy developer and operator Scatec has signed a commercial agreement to finance, construct, operate and maintain a greenfield hydroelectric power plant with peak capacity of 350 MW in the southern African country of Malawi.

The $1.4-billion electromechanical portion of the Kwanza River dam project includes a power plant with an installed capacity of 2,070 MW. 

To help remote communities and developing nations adopt sustainable energy infrastructure, Oregon State University researchers recently released an open-source, small-scale hydropower assessment modeling package.
