Globally, the VFH Turbine™ is a small-hydro plant or “SHP” and can be used with flows from rivers and streams to generate up to 5 MWs of clean, carbon-free energy. VFH Turbines™ can significantly offset the electrical needs of small communities by servicing remote areas, where more extensive power facilities are not practical or economical. The VFH system is a resilient energy source without the need for expensive infrastructure, land disruption, or existing power stations.

Hydropower projects from Green Power Technologies Puerto Rico, LLC. (GPTPR) offer emissions-free power solutions for both urban and remote communities. The VFH Turbine™ provides a low-maintenance, resilient power source for many decades. Unlike most hydroelectric projects, the VFH Turbine™ has a positive impact on the environment. GPTPR owns the VFH Turbine™, its patents, trademarks, and worldwide licensing rights.

The VFH system avoids the common challenges associated with solar and wind, such as legal restrictions or compliance uncertainties, not to mention the time and frustration of permitting, installation overruns, or potential property easement complications. The footprint for a single, 2 MW-VFH unit is approximately 28 m2, whereas solar panels necessary to produce that same annual 16 million kWh’s require nearly 1 hectare. The VFH can typically be installed and operational within 180 days after an agreement is executed and local permitting is secured. The economics and O&M costs are far more favorable than competing hydro, solar, or wind. Traditionally, the VFH produces a much quicker ROI for the community or investor and has extremely predictable long-term power generation.
