TIME Features Natel: Meet the Siblings Making Hydropower That Actually Protects Rivers and Fish

We're thrilled to share that Michael Spolum, who worked in business development at Natel for several years, is the new CEO of Natel's partner in Africa, MyHydro.

Gia discusses FIshSafe turbine designs as the best available technology for existing hydro plant refurbishments and upgrades and for powering non-powered dams.

With a name appropriately coined from the phrase “natural electric,” Natel is focused on enabling a distributed or decentralized hydropower model featuring a large number of smaller projects.
