The value obtained by multiplying the water flow (tons) by the head (meters) and dividing by 0.75 (electricity production coefficient, rough estimate) corresponds to the quantity of electricity produced (kWh or kilowatt hours). The quantity of electricity multiplied by the price of electricity on the grid constitutes the gross profit of your hydroelectric plant. After deducting the cost, this is your profit. The cost of hydroelectric plants is very high, but the payback period is very long. I went to a hydroelectric power station abroad that has been operating for almost a hundred years.
