There were some projects for the installation of hydroelectric power plants by Jirama in the 1970s, but they were never concretized.

In 2002 another project, for a plant of 6 kW capacity by ElectricitĂ© de Madagascar in cooperation with the French EDF, German RWE, GTZ and Canadian Hydro-QuĂ©bec was stopped in 2009 due to the political situation at the time.
