VERTERRA ENERGY, INC.
TURNING THE WORLD'S WATER INTO POWER
We believe energy should propel all of us forward, in a sustainable way.
That's why we developed VOLTURNUS, a brand new way to harness the untapped power of flowing water on our planet.
OUR PLANET
Our planet's flowing water holds tremendous untapped energy- up to 52 PWhs - that's a third of what we presently use. For reference, the mighty Hoover Dam in the US produces just .0036 PWhs .
OUR VISION
"Empowering societies to create the future they want while protecting the environment we all need"
OUR PLAN
Deploying Volturnus arrays in rivers and canals into microgrids providing distributed, power for regions- then scaling up to line the continental coasts, providing utility scale power for the whole world.
OUR MISSION
VOLTURNUS™
VOLTURNUS is a brand new way to harness the power of flowing water on our planet.
It starts to generate electricity just by launching & submerging it into rivers, oceans and canals.

THE TEAM
Verterra Energy was founded in 2010 with a mission to harness the power of flowing water in rivers, oceans and canals to produce abundant clean, reliable power for all the world’s people.
Volturnus is a simple and elegant device that, when submerged in moving water, generates zero emission, baseload electricity. When deployed in “V-Pods” of 5, they create scalable power from 50 kW to multi- MW arrays; ultimately capable of achieving gigawatts of decentralized power globally.
Our diverse team brings experience from leading industrial and
Fortune 500 companies like Boeing, GE and Tesla.
Based in St. Paul, MN Verterra is funded by mission driven investors and is currently collaborating with the US Army Corps of Engineers on an advanced microgrid project.
