Turn every drop of water into clean energy. Today.
Why does micro/pico-hydro pay off for you?
You will have 24/7 renewable energy, independent of sun and wind, with access to government incentives.
Performance is high even with minimal water jumps: canals, aqueducts, sewage, mills.
Our systems are compact, standardized, replicable and low impact, with reduced civil works and fast installation time.
Immediate incentives-thanks to the transitional RES-X Decree (valid until Dec. 31.12.2025) you get direct access to feed-in tariffs for plants up to 1 MW. By choosing now, you lock in the premium before the switch to the new RES-Z scheme (CfD auctions scheduled from 2026).
