There were some projects for the installation of hydroelectric power plants by Jirama in the 1970s, but they were never completed.
In 2002 another project, for a plant of 6 kW capacity by Electricité de Madagascar in cooperation with the French EDF, German RWE, GTZ and Canadian Hydro-Québec was stopped in 2009[1] due to the 2009 Malagasy political crisis.
