Company Description

Problem

Many existing dams are not equipped to generate power, representing a missed opportunity for renewable energy production. Retrofitting these dams with traditional hydropower solutions can be expensive, environmentally disruptive, and require significant upfront capital.

Solution

GenH offers modular hydropower units designed for rapid retrofitting onto existing, non-powered dams. Their Adaptive Hydro™ modules utilize a siphon system to capture and channel water over the dam, where it drives turbines to generate electricity. This non-invasive approach minimizes environmental impact and simplifies installation and removal. GenH's partnership model eliminates the need for upfront capital investment from dam owners, allowing them to generate revenue from untapped energy resources.

Features

Modular design for easy and rapid retrofitting onto existing dam infrastructure

Siphon system to channel water over the dam without altering existing structures

Proprietary intake screens to passively deflect debris and wildlife, reducing maintenance

Onboard generators to convert turbine rotation into stable electricity

Options for local energy consumption or grid interconnection

Target Audience

GenH targets dam owners and operators looking to generate renewable energy and revenue from existing infrastructure without significant capital investment or environmental disruption.

Revenue Model

GenH generates revenue through a partnership arrangement where they install and operate the hydropower units, sharing the revenue generated from electricity sales with the dam owner.
