Micro hydro-power plant (MHP) with 10 KW power in Sarwan Sub-village, Merbau Village Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, was installed by the funding of corporate social responsibility (CSR) of PT. Pertamina (Persero). It was built to utilize the water potential energy switched into electricity to meet the needs of the people of the Sarwan sub-village. It was also aimed to make Merbau village sustainable-energy independent. One of the supporting factors is the Sarwan river’s flow capacity so that the methodology used in this research tried to reanalyze the existing discharge of the river in Sarwan village. This study analyzed the discharge in July with the dry season intensity of 46.6 mm, and the discharge obtained was 0.496 m/sec so that the Pin was 12.18 Kw, and Pout was 8.47 kW with the energy demand by the people of Sarwan village amounting to 4.81 kW. This means that MHP in Sarwan village could back up all of the needs of the residents of Sarwan village for electricity for 24 hours, and the optimization of the utilization of MHP in Sarwan village remains potentially developed.
