BlueCap Hydro is a manufacturer of innovative and integrated micro hydropower generators, an initiator and co-developer of micro hydropower projects and if needed a capital markets advisor for infrastructure and renewable energy projects. A core value of BlueCap Hydro is that the projects must be economical viable on its own merits.
BlueCap Hydro contributes to the reduction of the ecological-, water- and carbon footprints around the globe. The unique characteristics of our Technology allow for many opportunities.
The BlueCap Hydro Technology can be installed in valves or gates of small weirs in irrigation canals and pipes.
The BlueCap Hydro Technology can be applied in water transport systems to control the flow and the pressure of the water.
BlueCap Hydro Generators can be installed at the intake weir of a run-of-river hydropower installation, in a water conveyance pipe or canal, and/or directly in the penstock.
With the BlueCap Hydro Technology, it becomes technologically and economically feasible to develop micro hydropower plants in remote areas, often in combination with other renewable energy sources.
By applying the BlueCap Hydro Technology, vineyards can reduce their carbon- and water footprint and respond to the growing popularity of ecological and biological wines.
OUR PROJECTS
We make an impact with our projects
around the world
Through a long-term lease agreement between Bohol Power and Electric Corporation (BPEC) and the owners and operators of various irrigation infrastructures in the Philippines, BlueCap Hydro Generators will be installed (mounted) in stop-locks of weirs in irrigation canals.
In collaboration with a Dutch wine import company and Italian and Iberian wine producers, we explore potential projects to electrify and improve irrigation infrastructures in order to reduce the costs of water and electricity.
More about this project
In South Africa we have started a pre-FS for delivering renewable electricity to a sawmill owned by a eucalyptus forestry company located in the Tzaneen Province. The aim is to construct a run-of-river micro hydropower facility without a powerhouse, near the Great Letaba river.
We select small hydro run-of-river plants in European countries that are old and nonfunctional.
We approach the operators and owners of these facilities and introduce our technology. If warranted, we can offer various financial solutions for the upgrading of the facilities.
We have started a feasibility study to explore the operational benefits of the integration of the BlueCap Hydro Technology in the penstock and spillway of a large Hydroelectric Power Plant. The installed capacity equals 46 MW and is situated near Manila.
Together with a leading Philippine run-of-river hydropower developer and operator, a project has started to install one or more BlueCap Hydro Generator(s) in the tail race of one of its power plants.
