Brief Reconnaissance Study for the Addition of Hydropower for Capelsie Dam, Capelsie, North Carolina
The feasibility of developing hydroelectric power at the Capelsie Dam in Capelsie, North Carolina was studied. This dam, built in 1898 for diverting river flow into a canal, has a developable head of 28 ft. Information is presented on: the site characteristics; the potential developer, customer power demand; environmental, institutional and safety aspects of the proposed development; power plant potential and characteristics; and the calculation of the costs and benefits of the proposal. Based on the assumptions used, hydropower development at this site was found to be economically feasible if the cost of money is less than 15%. (ERA citation 07:062812)
