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.
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.
Features
