This project proposed the installation of the first full-scale commercial demonstration of Natel’s updated modular hydropower turbine and civil engineering innovations. Funded through ERA’s Biotechnology, Electricity, and Sustainable Transportation (BEST) challenge and announced in 2019, the project hoped to reduce the costs and design complexity of hydropower projects while operating efficiently. The funding relationship was ultimately cancelled in 2022.
