Hydro Green Energy (HGE) is a privately-held hydropower development company that focuses on building new, low-impact hydropower projects in the United States and Latin America, as well as the rehabilitation of existing hydropower assets that are no longer in service. The company maintains its headquarters in Birmingham, AL (USA). In the U.S., HGE holds permits for the development of 340 MW of new hydropower capacity, equivalent to the energy production from approximately 1,100 MW of solar power or 680 MW of wind power. HGE’s current projects could provide enough annual power for approximately 190,000 homes and annually avoid over 2.6 billion pounds of carbon emissions. In Latin America, HGE is presently involved in the development of 19 MW of new hydropower capacity and is reviewing projects comprising over 500 MW.
