Member - Emrgy, Inc

Emrgy, Inc. is a US Woman-Owned Small Business that is a recognized leader in hydrokinetic power system design, manufacturing, and commercial deployment. Since its founding in 2014, Emrgy has leveraged world-class advancements in hydrokinetic research to secure commercial and governmental customers of its equipment in four U.S. states to deploy the first grid-connected hydrokinetic arrays in the country. Emrgy has attracted over $15 million in funding and secured a global manufacturing and sales partnership with General Electric Company who has a long history in the hydropower industry. Emrgy, Inc’s solution is a modular hydrokinetic (HK) platform that can deliver 5-20 kW of clean electric power depending on the characteristics of the water system in which it is deployed. When deployed in multi-unit arrays, system power levels of 50-1,000 kW are achieved. Arrays are achieved through a combination of cross-stream and up/down stream deployment of multiple HK modules. The products concept has been developed with simplicity in mind to achieve lowest manufacturing costs, high reliability and competitive levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Emrgy’s baseline innovations encompass both technology design and business strategy. The Company’s product is modular, portable, hydrodynamically designed to optimize performance, and outfitted with a power control system that is designed for grid connection at the individual HK module or array level. Emrgy’s initial go-to-market strategy exploits the man-made riverine/canal space to sidestep typical environmental and regulatory hurdles of the marine environment. This space is characterized by, in many cases, non-biologic, non-navigation waterways and is also characterized by a controlled flow environment that enables high coefficients of power and capacity factors and thus low Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE.)
