The year to-date has been marked by sustained progress and accelerating opportunities. Our installed Restoration Hydro Turbine (RHT) projects are operating reliably, and our project development pipeline continues to grow. The close of our Series B funding round, led by Breakthrough Energy Ventures and backed by Chevron Technology Ventures, coupled with the addition of Yves Rannou, former CEO of GE Hydropower, to our board of directors and Nicolas Serrie, former VP of product management for GE Hydro and president of GE Hydro France, to our management team, have set the stage for our continued growth and success.
Natel Energy has been included on both the World’s Top GreenTech Companies 2025 and America’s Top GreenTech Companies 2025 lists assembled by TIME and Statista Inc.
The Cleanie Awards® announced that Natel won bronze in the 2022 Clean Energy Startup Company of the Year category. The RHT was also recognized as a Pioneer in New Technology finalist.
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.
