Run-of-river hydroelectricity, also called run-of-the-river hydroelectricity, is a type of hydroelectric power plant that provides little or no water storage. Such a plant may have no storage at all, or only a limited amount known as pondage. A plant with no pondage is subject to the seasonal flow of its river, so it operates as an intermittent energy source rather than a fully dispatchable one.
