Out of Sight and Silent
Verdant Power systems operate silently and automatically, fully underwater and out of sight from shore. This aspect of the technology reduces the visual disruption and “NIMBY” issues related to other sources of renewable energy, especially wind farms.

Renewable and Predictable Energy
Water currents provide a predictable, if not constant, source of renewable energy. This creates an advantage for Verdant Power technologies over wind and solar systems, which offer intermittent power more subject to daily changes in weather and blackout scenarios. In fact, Verdant Power anticipates that its river-based systems will achieve 80-90% capacity factors, approximately double those of wind and solar power systems.

Placement in Population Centers
Verdant Power systems can be placed directly in population centers ranging from major urban areas to small villages. This not only provides power where it is needed most, but, by eliminating the need for transmission lines, the technology is also safer, more energy efficient and cost-effective.

Clean Water Integration
Simply designed and already deployed in water, Verdant Power systems can be integrated with water purification technology. This further enhances the systems’ applicability in developing countries, which report the world’s highest demands for both clean energy and water.
