Leviathan Energy Hydroelectric Ltd. was awarded a grant from the EUREKA program to develop an in-pipe turbine aimed at providing a power-generating solution for water transported from mountainous areas. One of 250 projects each year that received the EUREKA label, Israel-based Leviathan Energy Hydroelectric has partnered with two Italian companies, Fontana SRL and ENCO Engineering Consultants SRL, to develop a model that is to deliver up to 50KW per hour. The Benkatina turbine is typically installed within a pipe and generates electricity by utilizing the water flowing through it. The model is to be tested in the Alps of Northern Italy.
