The future of hydro is local.

The modern hydropower landscape will be built in conjunction with communities, using water infrastructure that already exists.

The Opportunity

Canada’s untapped clean energy network.

Over 53,000 sites across the country are quietly managed by dams, weirs, and water-control structures. They manage river flows, protect communities from floods, and regulate water levels. The water flowing through these sites is an enormous untapped opportunity: if harnessed responsibly, it can generate clean, dependable power 24/7/365 without river alteration or ecological impact.

But most of them produce no energy.

Who We Are

Reimagining hydroelectric power.

Aslan Renewables develops modular systems that responsibly activate the untapped potential of infrastructure already built and maintained across the country. We install compact, efficient systems at existing structures, transforming them into reliable sources of renewable energy with minimal ecological footprint.

Our goal is simple: modernize hydroelectric power by producing distributed power close to where it is used.

How It Works

From existing infrastructure to clean power.

The dam already manages the water. Our system uses that existing drop in elevation to produce power.

Why Modularity Matters

Built for existing dams.
Designed to scale.

Smaller physical footprint

Built for existing dams and water-control assets. We don’t replace infrastructure — we unlock it.

Faster installation

Pre-fabricated systems avoid large-scale excavation. Minimal civil works. Days to install, not years.

100% fish-safe

No new river alterations or reservoirs. Our intake design protects aquatic ecosystems, and continuous monitoring supports responsible long-term operations.

Scales site by site

Systems start small and expand over time. A phased approach that aligns with community needs, grid demand, and water flow availability.

Intelligence Built In

Every site is a living system.

Every Aslan station is powered by our Remote Monitoring System: an AI-enabled platform designed for fully autonomous operation over a 20-year lifecycle. RMS combines embedded sensors, edge monitoring, and AI-driven analytics to continuously track energy performance and ecological conditions.

For Regulators

Automated compliance and environmental reporting.

For Operators

Day-to-day performance visibility ensuring stable, efficient power generation.

For Community Partners

Clear, real-time performance dashboards accessible to local stakeholders.

For Environmental Stewards

Continuous ecological monitoring and a clear understanding of how each watershed behaves across seasons and years.

Our Story
“It started with a single dam on a walking trail in PEI. Then I found 170 more across the province. The infrastructure already existed — it just needed someone to see it differently.”

    What We Believe

    Our core commitments.

    The path is already paved.

    Tens of thousands of existing water-control structures represent one of the most overlooked opportunities in the global energy transition. Sometimes the unlock isn’t building something new — it’s seeing what’s already there.

    Thoughtful modernization.

    Simplified deployments that are rapid, scalable, and efficient. Transforming existing structures into reliable, low-impact, ecologically-safe energy solutions that respect the communities that call these sites home.

    Community first.

    Successful projects must be developed with transparency, humility, and long-term accountability. Responsible energy development begins with listening and working alongside local stakeholders.
