Issue 395 - 28 Jun 2019 | 1 minute read

Symbion Power and San Francisco-based Natel Energy have launched a new hydropower-based mini-grid company called MyHydro which aims to install hydropower-based mini-grids at low cost but on a large scale. MyHydro will use low-head turbine technology provided by Natel which the company claims are “the most fish-safe turbines in the world” and which require a water drop of only 2-10 metres. MyHydro aims to deploy a minimum of 150 installations with associated mini-grid infrastructure in Africa by 2025, serving around 1.5m people.
