Restricted electricity is one of the resistors in improving development and empowering communities, especially in rural areas. The utilize of MHP as an alternative energy because its cost friendly, user friendly, environmentally friendly, and material friendly. Those are expected to be the proper solutions to overcome inadequate accessibility of rural communities, such as in Tutuling village, East Halmahera Regency. This study uses the frequency distribution method and is tested using a probability test to calculate rainfalls. The buoy method for calculating river discharge and Rational method for calculating flood discharge known as Flow Characteristicto calculate the mainstay discharge while Geometric Method aims to calculate the Projection of Population Amount. Based on the results of the research and analysis of calculations on the Feasibility Study of Potential Micro Hydro Power Plants in the Oboi River. It can be concluded that the river discharge available at MHP in Tutuling Village Q river = 2,3171 m 3 /sec with reliable discharge Q reliability = 2.2545 m 3 /sec and effective fall height ( Head ) H = 30 meters with the amount of power generated by Pnet = 219.2342 kW. The total number of houses that have been electrified is 894 houses. Moreover, finding how many houses that capable of being raised in the future for about 2 decades ahead is the ultimate aim of this research. As a result, the calculated population is projected to address the number of households (houses), which likely to electrified for over 20 years to come is approximately 661 households.
