Distributed, No-Impact Hydropower with High Capacity Factors — Emily Morris, CEO of Emrgy

Led by Emily Morris, Emrgy is deploying high capacity factor next-generation distributed and modular hydropower technology.

Below are two excerpts from the podcast.

"To understand Emrgy’s approach to hydropower, first, forget everything you think you know about hydro! Most people think of hydro as a mature technology that requires large waterways and big construction budgets and long timelines. We change that by focusing on low-cost, standardized, and durable projects installed with an emphasis on distributed and modular generation facilities."

"Our modular generation facilities are each about the size of a large SUV and cost between $35,000 and $50,000. These modules generate electricity with a spinning turbine in much the same way that a windmill would generate electricity. Our primary market to this point has been in the Western US, where the relative lack of accessible water creates the need to move water longer distances, thus creating canals and surface water infrastructure sites in which we can generate electricity. We believe that water has an important role to play in the future of energy for its capacity factor that is higher and more predictable than both solar and wind."

Here is the transcript summary of the podcast.
