Video: Freedom Falls Restoration Hydro Turbine

With a name appropriately coined from the phrase “natural electric,” Natel is focused on enabling a distributed or decentralized hydropower model featuring a large number of smaller projects.

A new study published in the North American Journal of Fisheries Management shows safe downstream passage of juvenile alewife (river herring) through Natel’s modern FishSafe hydro turbine.

2021 was a year of validation, bracketed by certifying our Freedom Falls plant as a Low Impact Hydro Installation, and by a suite of successful through-turbine fish passage tests in Q4.
