Climate change website The Cool Down praised Natel's FishSafe™ turbine designs, calling them "airbag[s] for fish."
2021 was a year of validation, bracketed by certifying our Freedom Falls plant as a Low Impact Hydro Installation, and by a suite of successful through-turbine fish passage tests in Q4.
A new study published in the North American Journal of Fisheries Management shows safe downstream passage of juvenile alewife (river herring) through Natel’s modern FishSafe hydro turbine.
