Nghe An mountain people rebuild mini hydroelectric power plant after flood
(Baonghean.vn) - Because there is no national grid, ethnic minorities living in remote areas have created mini generators to generate energy for daily life. After storms and floods, the familiar work of most families using mini hydropower (hydroelectricity) in Nghe An is to repair and reinstall generators.

Mr. Lang Van Tuyet (born in 1960), residing in Ban 1 village, said: The whole village has more than 40 households using solar power for lighting. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| Mini hydropower plants have been around for quite a while in Nghe An and in places where there is no national grid. After the floods, people in villages in the districts of Ky Son, Tuong Duong, Que Phong, Quy Chau, etc. are busy rebuilding these generators. Photo: Ho Phuong |
