Emrgy and GE Renewable Energy Partner for Global Commercialization of Distributed Hydropower System

Emrgy Inc., the tech innovator whose modular turbines harness the power of water as a clean, distributed energy resource, signed an agreement with GE Renewable Energy about Emrgy’s Micro Hydrokinetic technology. Through this partnership, Emrgy’s hydropower turbines will be provided by GE Renewable Energy. GE Renewable Energy will also begin to offer Emrgy’s product among their suite of hydropower solutions in select markets worldwide.
