Applications: Hydropower
Low-Cost, Modular Solutions for New and Existing Hydropower Sites
Easy Hydro offers a unique range of low-cost and modular turbines for prospective and existing hydropower plant operators.
Cost-Effective Small-Scale Hydropower for Challenging Installations
From the environmental flows of existing dams to the water cooling circuits of large hydropower turbines, Easy Hydro offers solutions to generate electricity at sites previously considered unfeasible.
Our new axial turbine range is capable of operating under a head as low as 1.5 metres, thus unlocking hydropower in areas where conventional solutions may be too costly or inefficient.
Whether you’re managing a dam or wishing to upgrade or restore an existing hydropower plant or mill, Easy Hydro can provide a solution.

Where
Our water turbines are suitable for existing pipes where water pressure needs to be reduced or at locations where water flows by gravity into a lower water body.
- A: in parallel to a valve
- B: on a pipe discharging by gravity
Typical Installations
Environmental flow discharge from dams and weirs
Residual head after an existing hydropower plant
Irrigation channels and fish farms
Updating of old hydropower plants and former water mills
How Does It Work?
Learn More About Easy Hydro’s Energy Recovery Technology
Easy Hydro turbines are built on a trusted approach known as Pumps as Turbines (PAT) — a highly adaptable and affordable method to generate clean electricity from flowing water. Designed for flexibility, our turbines can be seamlessly integrated into both new and existing hydropower sites.
Whether you’re managing an environmental flow release, upgrading an outdated mill, or recovering residual head from a large installation, Easy Hydro technology provides a reliable, low-maintenance solution that enhances the performance and sustainability.
