Senior Hydropower Technical Associate Tatiana Marzan and researchers at ORNL found, through detailed analysis of costs associated with fish exclusion, that FishSafe™ RHTs were more cost-effective.
The RHT was a finalist this year at the MERLIN Innovation Awards, which recognize widely-applicable solutions for restoring the function or enabling the financial benefit of freshwater ecosystems.
Gia Schneider spoke with Canary Media about how Natel’s FishSafe™ turbines can serve as a potential solution for U.S. dams facing expensive relicensing, turning a regulatory hurdle into a modernization opportunity.
