VerdErg's innovative low-head hydropower solution is designed for head drops of 4 metres or less and is suitable for the global micro, mini and tidal range hydropower markets.

Our Venturi-Enhanced Turbine Technology (VETT) technology makes clever use of venturi principles to achieve a pressure amplification for conventional turbines, allowing the use of up to 36% smaller and 4-15x faster turbines in low head settings. This enables project cost reduction of 16% - 39%. In addition, the technology is verified fish-safe with zero mortality, and operates without noise emission and little visual intrusion, allowing it to operate where others can’t.
