The role of small-scale hydro development in northern Ontario

Energy, 1988, vol. 13, issue 1, 25-31

Abstract: Interest in small-scale hydroelectric development was stimulated by the energy crisis of the 1970s. We examine factors influencing this choice in the electrification of remote native Indian communities in northern Ontario. These projects are a realistic, cost-effective solution to electricity supply problems in many remote communities and are more likely to be compatible with the economic and social goals of native peoples than large-scale projects.
