SMALL HYDRO SOLUTIONS FOR OFF GRID COMMUNITIES
Combining Small Hydro with Solar, Wind and Batteries to Increase Economic Development
THE CONCEPT
Communities adjacent to rivers can produce power for economic development using micro-hydro turbines, solar, wind and battery storage. Click the button for a deep dive prepared by our partner Smart Hydro.
COLLABORATION
We work with the chttc.ca the Canadian Hydrokinetic Turbine Test Center, part of the University of Manitoba in Canada.
We are currently developing a portable microgrid solution for remote off-grid communities.

THE FUTURE
The SHARKS Are Circling Around Renewable Energy
For all the nice (and not-so-nice) things people say about hydropower, the chances of building a new fleet of hydropower dams in the US are slim to none. However, there is still plenty of untapped renewable energy to be scoured from running water — and the US Department of Energy is determined to pry it loose with $38 million for a newly announced research program. The new announcement lends additional support to the prospects for deploying renewables as an economic recovery strategy in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.
THE OPPORTUNITY
​
We want to collaborate with solar developers to grow our solution.
Using a micro-grid we can also aggregate biomass and other renewable energy devices.
