The use of hydroelectric technology in Indonesia to support plantation and agricultural areas in Indonesia is still limited. This is also because the development of hydroelectric technology in Indonesia is still not optimal. The development of hydroelectric technology can support development in agricultural and plantation areas. Irrigation canals and rivers in plantation areas can be used to generate electricity with low head hydroelectric power plants. This study identifies hydroelectric power generation technology, especially low head turbines that are developing in Indonesia and abroad for use in plantation or agricultural areas. One of them is the low head picohydro turbine technology using a propeller type turbine. From several studies conducted, a low head picohydro turbine developed in Indonesia has several advantages, namely for the picohydro type it can produce about 500 Watts of power, the generator is connected directly to the turbine. The development of turbine technology to utilize irrigation canals or rivers in plantation areas can support the provision of electrical energy, this energy can help process agricultural products faster and cheaper so as to create a green energy ecosystem that is beneficial for survival.
