Natel Energy
Distributed, baseload, renewable hydropower
Natel Energy is changing the way hydropower is built to enable sustainable, climate resilient, low cost hydro.
Turbines
We build and sell hydroEngines®, hydropower turbines, which make projects cheaper to permit and build.
Projects
We work with developers to design Restoration Hydro projects: resilient and distributed hydropower systems.
Analytics
We connect our projects with watershedOS for intelligent siting, analysis and operations monitoring.
The hydroEngine is a high performance hydropower turbine designed for low head settings.
Head
3-20 m
Flow
1-200 cms
Power
25 kW to 25 MW per project
We help build inexpensive, modular plants networked together to deliver renewable energy.
We call it Restoration Hydro
Restoration Hydro is smart, innovative development of our water resources to produce energy in an ecologically sustainable, socially acceptable, economically sound and climate resilient manner.
Climate Resilient
Distributed
Renewable
Utility Scale
Baseload
WatershedOS: a multi-disciplinary platform to design and monitor our projects.
watershedOS is a design optimization and operating system created to develop hydropower resources into projects that are intelligent, interconnected, and responsive.
watershedOS transforms watersheds into EcoSmartHydro projects that deliver water for energy, water for ecosystems, water for food, and water for recreation.
