Problem
Existing water networks and natural water sources often have untapped potential for energy generation. Conventional hydropower solutions can be economically unattractive for small sites due to high costs and complex installations. This results in a missed opportunity to generate renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions.
Solution
Easy Hydro provides small-scale, modular hydropower generating sets designed to harness energy from existing water networks and natural sources. Their technology utilizes standard water pumps in reverse as turbines (PAT), offering a cost-effective and easily maintained solution for exploiting previously untapped resources. These plug-and-play turbines can be installed in various applications, including run-off-river micro hydropower, energy recovery from water networks, and energy recovery from mines. The generated electricity can be used for self-consumption or sold back to the grid.
Target Audience
Easy Hydro's primary customers include water-intensive organizations such as water companies, irrigation districts, mining companies, and industrial facilities looking to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
