Global market leaders in small hydropower
For over 100 years, we have been helping transform the power of water into useful energy, actually, by the most economically beneficial supply to any nation. More than 10,000 power stations have left our factory since then. OSSBERGER hydro stations are located on five continents, generating environmentally friendly electricity without CO2 emissions up to this very moment. In the field of small hydropower, we are the global market and technology leaders.
Powering through all the generations!

Did you know ...
that hydropower is one of the oldest sources of energy known to mankind? Chinese farmers used it 5,000 years ago. The water wheel was invented by Greek engineers in the 4th century B.C. Today, hydropower generates more electricity than nuclear power worldwide, although only one fifth of the potential is actually used. In the medium term, an additional 16,000 terawatt hours could be generated annually, which is as much as the entire world consumed in 2005. Power from water is one of the most sustainable sources of renewable energy. Especially when it is implemented with small, decentralized plants, as is the case with Ossberger turbines.
