Power in a box for remote areas: Francis Container Solution.

 

In the evolving world of renewable energy, small hydropower is gaining recognition as a crucial technology for decentralized, sustainable electricity generation, especially in remote or rural areas. Hydropower projects often face major obstacles: high civil engineering costs, long project timelines, and complex permitting processes.

 

To address these challenges, Global Hydro has developed the Francis Turbine in a Container – an innovative, fully integrated containerized hydropower solution. This pre-assembled small hydropower plant is compact, mobile, and minimizes the need for large-scale civil works, enabling rapid deployment even in hard-to-reach locations.

 

As part of the EU-funded Hydro4U project, this system is currently being demonstrated in Central Asia, proving that sustainable energy access is possible anywhere water flows.
