Natel is a technology and engineering company working to support healthy rivers, promote biodiversity, and decarbonize the grid by developing hydropower turbines that enable downstream passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. Through rigorous testing and refinement, Natel has achieved through-turbine fish passage survival rates of 98-100% across multiple fish species and life stages with its novel FishSafe™ runner designs. These runners have demonstrated effective fish passage while operating at conventional blade speeds and maintaining high hydraulic efficiency. Natel conducts feasibility studies, performs fish passage and performance testing, and works with trusted turbine manufacturers to implement its runner designs worldwide. Natel is a privately held company located in Alameda, California, in the United States.
