What is GP Hydro?
GP Hydro is a 50:50 joint venture between Pacific American and Global Hydro GMBH, an Austrian company leading the renewable energy hydro sector.
This joint venture has been created to develop micro-hydro projects and hybrid renewable projects in Australia and the Pacific region.
GP Hydro holds the rights to Global Hydro’s smarT product suite and it will aim to market a proven renewable energy solution that has an advantage in the supply of off-grid micro energy.
Micro energy is the small-scale generation of heat and electric power by individuals, small business and communities to meet their own needs.
This joint venture is well-positioned to support specific industries such as mining, agriculture and community development where there is an immediate need for off-grid solutions such as smarT.
smarT is an economic turbine that can output between 100kW (kilowatt) and 1MW (megawatt) of energy.
It reduces the total costs of a power station project to ensure optimal payments even in low energy prices.
Pacific American’s share price has remained steady today, closing with shares worth one cent each.
