New IREM catalogue HYDRO POWER 2025

VIDEO: Drinking water supply systems represent an underutilized yet highly promising energy source. By integrating Pelton and Banki hydroelectric turbines, IREM provides efficient solutions for energy recovery within aqueduct networks.

The Politecnico di Torino has chosen IREM for a pilot project funded by the PNRR and called “Nodes, Spoke 4: Digital and Sustainable Mountain”.

During the 20th stage of the Giro d’Italia 2025 (Verrès–Sestriere), broadcast on May 31st on RAI and available on RaiPlay, a touching and unexpected moment enriched the sports narrative.

With the project called “Refuges Zéro Fumée,” the first IREM hydroelectric turbine producing energy from a renewable source was installed at the Refuge de Chamoissière, run by Sebastien and Sylvie. This solution allows the refuge to be almost completely decarbonized, significantly reducing the environmental impact of its management.

VIDEO | Water has always been a precious and inexhaustible renewable source. IREM hydroelectric turbines, the result of over seventy years of experience, make it possible to convert water energy into electricity in a sustainable way and with full respect for the environment.

For this project, IREM supplied three Pelton turbine-generator units, certified for aqueduct installation, with an electrical power range between 34 kW and 180 kW.
