Toshiba manufactured Japan's first hydroelectric turbines and generators over 120 years ago, and has since translated experience and expertise into leadership in hydropower installations around the world. That includes an extensive track record of highly successful projects in India. Since supplying our first hydroelectric turbines and generators over 50 years ago, in Meghalaya, we have delivered 24 hydroelectric turbines and 34 generators. All those plants have been operating smoothly for years, some much beyond their life expectancy.
But the fact remains, millions of Indians live without electricity. Lack of power affects rural and urban areas alike, holding back efforts to advance living standards and the industrial sector. Securing universal access to electricity is a huge task, and the many challenges to face include replacing aging infrastructure and extending the power grid to reach every home and business. It's an endeavor that will require huge investments and take a long time.
Toshiba offers an extensive lineup of hydropower systems, ranging from small to large. Our micro-hydropower generating system was initially designed for non-electrified areas, as a compact system that can be installed in rivers, discharge channels, agricultural and industrial waterways to cater to the electricity needs of rural and small communities.
