Who We are

Hydro Green Energy, LLC is a Texas-based renewable energy systems developer and integrator operating in the waterpower industry. Hydro Green Energy’s hydrokinetic power systems generate electricity exclusively from moving water (river currents, tidal currents and ocean currents) without having to first construct dams, impoundments or conduits. The company’s hydrokinetic technology platform is also deployable downstream from existing hydropower projects (a system called Hydro+™), which bolsters the output of the existing facility in an environmentally-sound, fish friendly manner without creating back pressure on the existing facility. Hydro Green Energy’s project in Hastings, Minnesota is the first FERC licensed and commercially operational hydrokinetic power station in U.S. history.

Hydro Green Energy holds U.S. Patent # 6955049, three international patents and has over 100 U.S. and International Patents pending on the Company's core technologies. Hydro Green Energy is the only U.S. company with a commercial, federally-licensed hydrokinetic power project.

The motivating concept behind Hydro Green Energy is to reduce the costs of base-load, non-emitting renewable energy production from water resources so that it is less expensive than power generated through the use of fossil fuels. The robust development of new waterpower technologies, such as those of Hydro Green Energy, will substantially bolster efforts to reduce the impacts of climate change, improve air quality, stabilize the electric power grid, better help meet growing electricity demand and lessen dependence on fossil sources for the production of electricity.
