Energy Recovery from Water & Irrigation Networks
Harness excess pressure in your water infrastructure to generate clean, renewable electricity with Easy Hydro’s modular hydropower solutions.
Start Recovering Energy from Your Network
Water networks often contain valuable yet untapped energy in the form of excess pressure. Instead of dissipating this pressure through conventional valves, Easy Hydro allows you to convert it into clean electricity. Our solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructure, offering a smart, cost-effective way to enhance efficiency and sustainability across your operations.

Where
Our turbines can be used at any location with water flowing through a pipe and excess flow and/or pressure.
This technology allows water-intensive organizations (e.g. water and irrigation companies) to exploit an untapped energy source in a cost-effective way.
Our turbines are suitable for existing pipes systems where water pressure needs to be reduced or where water flows by gravity into a reservoir or tank.
- A: in parallel to a valve
- B: on a pipe discharging by gravity
Typical Installations
Any location with water flowing in a pipe and an excess of flow and/or pressure.
Drinking water networks
Inlet of drinking water treatment plants
Outlet of Wastewater treatment plants
Reverse osmosis / high pressure filtration
Replacing orifice plates/disc
Pressurised irrigation systems (hydrants)
Irrigation channels and fish farms
Outlet of clarifiers / thickeners
How Does It Work?
Learn More About Easy Hydro’s Energy Recovery Technology
Easy Hydro turbines are based on a proven approach called Pumps as Turbines (PAT) — a smart and cost-effective method to recover energy from pressurised water systems. These compact, modular turbines are ideal for use in water networks and can be easily installed in parallel with pressure-reducing valves.
Whether you’re managing a drinking water system or irrigation infrastructure, our technology enables you to generate clean electricity with minimal maintenance and maximum return.
