Empowering Méailles: Local Hydro Power Plant Partnerships

This project focuses on forming local partnerships to implement a hydro power plant on an irrigation canal in Méailles city. The initiative involves engaging with energy and water stakeholders, local authorities, and the municipality for collaborative governance. Despite facing challenges such as securing water rights and funding, the project aims to create an environmentally responsible and sustainable energy solution. Future steps include improving project economics, conducting hydrological studies, and finalizing the production plan with the Canal of Provence Company. Through the Greenpartnerships project, the goal is to propose investments and promote local ownership for a successful outcome.
