What does it take to start a hydropower company from the ground up? | Gia Schneider of Natel Energy

The Green Light

What does it take to start a hydropower company from the ground up? In this Green Light episode, Catherine spoke with Gia Schneider about this, what it was like to found Natel Energy with her brother & father, as well as their fish-safe hydropower projects with Apple in Oregon & MyHydro in Africa.

Natel Energy has been featured by Bloomberg & Time & has been named to Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas 2022 list alongside several other innovative Breakthrough Energy Venture companies. Catherine thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Gia about the ways in which Natel is making it safer for fish to pass through hydropower turbines without compromising on power or efficiency, as well as hearing Gia’s insights on what leaders need to drive real change within climate tech.
