Natel Energy | High-Performance, FishSafe™ Hydropower Engineering
Natel engineers design hydropower turbines that couple high hydraulic efficiency with exceptional survival rates for through-turbine fish passage. We use proprietary fish passage computer models and conduct scale-model tests to validate our designs. Natel partners with established turbine manufacturers to implement our designs at large and small hydro projects.
