Water Power & Dam Construction Features Natel: Unlocking Additional Hydropower

Gia spoke with Energetyka Wodna about how she and Abe were inspired to focus Natel's work on designing turbines that preserve aquatic ecosystems and how FishSafe turbines can support sustainable hydropower globally.

Freedom Falls RHT is installed and operational, fish passage testing is ongoing, Natel received a DOE grant to research Restoration Hydro, and Upstream Tech launched HydroForecast.

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.
