The Generating Power of the River

Join us to gain a unique perspective to harnessing river power


As greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs rise, there is a pressing need for a sustainable, baseload renewable energy source. Hydrokinetic technology offers a solution by providing constant, renewable electricity generation to distributed energy networks and off-grid communities. This innovative technology can benefit both communities and governments worldwide, especially in developing countries where electricity access is limited.


Our presentation will explore the potential of hydrokinetic technology as a resilient, sustainable and scalable energy source. We will examine its benefits for local community off-takers, national governments, and the environment. We will also discuss how it can be tailored to meet the specific energy needs of different types of distributed energy networks, including ways in which digitalisation of the technology can assist in system monitoring and direct intervention.


Join us as we discover how hydrokinetic technology can help us meet our energy needs and advance the energy transition towards Net Zero.
