Micro Hydro Power Plants (PLTMH) are a new energy source that is cheaper and available in large quantities. Therefore, a Micro Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH) was designed as a source of electrical energy in the village of Mid-Punggah Hamlet, Parmonangan District, North Tapanuli Regency, using a Pelton type turbine. Pelton turbines are considered to have relatively stable performance, meaning that changes in efficiency with varying loads are not too large. Pelton turbine design utilizes Q (Discharge), H (Head) as initial data which refers to the characteristics of the Pelton Turbine. The number of nozzles to emit water that will fall onto the turbine wheel is 2 and has a diameter (d) of 20 mm. The number of turbine blades (Z) is 33, the turbine width (b) is 64 mm and the blade length (h) is 70 mm. This Pelton turbine was designed using Autocad 2007 software. The materials used were 201 stainless steel plate with a thickness of 5 mm, black steel plate with a thickness of 12 mm and 2 and 4 inch pipes with a thickness of 2.5 mm. The designed dimensions are 1500 mm x 500 mm x 700 mm.
