The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has one of the lowest electrification rates on the African continent and in the world. The DRC’s electrification rate is around 10%. As access to electricity is one of the main drivers of development, increasing the country’s electrification is long overdue. Accelerating energy access programs will help transform the lives of the majority of citizens in the DRC.
CleanTechnica chats with MyHydro and looks at the impact that Natel's RHT turbines could have in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In September 2021, Natel conducted formal testing with PNNL on a cohort of American eel passing through the RHT.
German-language magazine zek Hydro published an article about Natel's FishSafe™ turbine designs and our collaboration with German manufacturer DIVE Turbine. Flip to p. 58 to read.
Abe Schneider and Sterling Watson lay out the argument for FishSafe™ turbines in this paper published in The International Journal of Hydropower & Dams, Issue 5.
