Our Projects

In the U.S., less than three percent of its 80,000 dams are outfitted with hydropower technology. While hydropower has long been the nation's leading renewable energy resource, the growth potential for hydropower is significant.  In fact, the U.S. could double its hydropower output without building a new dam. Doing so would bring new environmental, energy and economic benefits to millions of Americans.

For its domestic projects, Hydro Green Energy focuses on building new, low-impact hydropower projects at existing, non-powered dams. In many cases, HGE will deploy its patented modular technology.  HGE currently holds the development rights to 300 MW of new capacity in 13 states. HGE's technology is designed to do the following:

• Reduce the footprint associated with new hydropower;
• Reduce the timeframes to develop new hydropower;
• Minimize disturbances to the river while installing the project;
• Minimize environmental impacts during operations; and
• Reduce the costs of installing and operating new hydropower.

In Latin America, nearly all of Hydro Green Energy's projects are new, high-head, low-flow facilities that operate in run-of-river fashion, which is an operational mode preferred by environmental stakeholders. In Latin America, HGE is presently involved in projects comprising 15 MW in Chile. HGE is presently reviewing over 500 MW of new hydropower capacity in Latin America.
