We’re proud to share our latest installation of a compact 55kW Turgo turbine for a small run-of-river hydropower project in Japan. The installation was expertly led by our experienced fitting supervisor, working in close collaboration with a skilled local team.
The Gilkes-designed compact Turgo is engineered for reliability and ease of use, making it an ideal solution for delivering sustainable, low-impact renewable energy to local communities.
Japan has a long history of small hydropower development, which continues to play a vital role in the country’s renewable energy strategy and local energy self-sufficiency. Gilkes has been a trusted supplier of small hydro turbines to Japan since the 1980s, and we remain committed to supporting key developers with new installations.
