Since 1981 UEK Corporation has developed a practical way to harness river, tidal and ocean currents with hydro kinetic turbines.

After exploring many configurations and constructing and testing several prototypes, we have a design which is efficient and competitive with other sources of energy....plus.... no fuel costs, no pollution... minimal environmental disturbance. This truly renewable technology is now ready for applications where lack of grid infrastructure makes conventional sources of electric power expensive, especially in rural areas where the cost of transmission lines is an unacceptable burden to power generation access.

Our company's niche lies in the 0.5 Megawatts to hundreds of Megawatts when sites are developed in underwater parks of twelve units or more. Furthermore, since there is no civil engineering such as dams or impoundments and require no support structures, these patented free flow hydro kinetic turbines are installed quickly and can produce power within months after "Turn Key" contracts are signed.
