Opening up new prospects for hydro power

Rivergy LLC is developing small, low-cost turbines to extract clean energy from any river, creek or waterway.  The technology enables simple, convenient installation without civil infrastructure or major disruptions to natural river flow.  Rivergy will serve a wide range of customers, from the 9% of humans currently living without power to utility scale.  Our vision is to bring extreme affordability to clean energy, solving problems for both industrialized and developing nations around the world.

  • Rivergy hydrokinetic

    When operating in an open channel of water with zero head pressure, kinetic energy is provided by the velocity of the water. 

    No dam is needed.

    Wherever there is flowing water, there is an opportunity to collect its kinetic energy, presenting new opportunities for clean, reliable energy.

  • The Rivergy Innovation:

    Multiple turbine modules can be connected together like building blocks to increase the effective area of the turbine array.

    Increased Area = Increased POWER

  • Traditional hydroelectric

    Typical hydroelectric turbines rely on head pressure to achieve the desired fluid velocity across the turbine in accordance with Bernoulli's principle. Dams and reservoirs are needed for this approach.

    Unfortunately we do not expect much new electrical capacity from traditional hydroelectric dams.
