next-incubator, the innovation hub for energy sustainability Styria, completed a pilot project with Natel Energy. Green Power GmbH, the power generation arm of Energie Steiermark, was responsible for the concrete implementation of the project.

The second important strength is that the turbine can be adapted for small bodies of water with low and head. Simple assembly solutions also lower building costs.
