Operator Assumes Control of Dahowa Hydroelectric Project

Greenwich, NY – Gravity Renewables, a leading national owner and operator of small hydroelectric projects, announced today that it has acquired the 10.5 megawatt (MW) Dahowa Hydroelectric Project located on the Batten Kill River in the town of Greenwich, Washington County, New York.

“Every hydropower project tells its own story,” said Ted Rose, Gravity Renewables’ CEO. “The Dahowa Project has been part of the region’s history and growth, and we look forward to ensuring that it will continue to be an important part of its future as well.”

The Project traces its roots back to a concrete dam located 3.5 miles from the confluence of the Batten Kill and Hudson Rivers and originally built in 1925. An earlier hydropower project was replaced with the current powerhouse and a 10.5 MW single unit turbine in 1991. A 2014 event rendered the plant inoperable from early 2014 until early 2016 when repairs and upgrades were completed, and the Project returned to safe operations. Today, the facility powers the equivalent of 3,000 homes annually.
