AYUSH Herbs Powers Farms with Hydroelectricity

REDMOND, Wash.AYUSH Herbs constructed a hydroelectric facility to power its farms and the communities that surround them. Located in the Boh region of Himachal Pradesh, India, the four-megawatt plant will help bring electricity to Punjab, an area suffering from an acute shortage of power, in a manner that has little impact on the environment.

The AYUSH facility is a micro-unit that does not disturb the natural flow of the river, thus protecting fish runs and the distribution of wildlife, as well as aiding local farmers and villages and encouraging them to be environmentally-minded.
