Design, Build & Operate

Through its joint venture, India Hydropower Development Company (IHDC), DLZ has developed six innovative Design, Build & Operate (DBO) hydroelectric plants with a total capacity of 62 MW throughout India. IHDC manages all stages of development and operation. IHDC has entered into long-term lease agreements with several Indian state governments to design, build, and operate the plants. During the lease term, IHDC operates the plant, while paying a royalty to the state. At the end of the term, the state has the option to renew the lease. Or, they may take possession of the plant at a nominal cost.

DLZ is a pioneer in the key renewable energy sector of hydrokinetic energy. This source of renewable energy produces clean, renewable electricity by harnessing the “kinetic energy” of a body of water. It also has numerous benefits, and its use part of our commitment to sustainability and minimal environmental impact. DLZ Hydrokinetic Company is actively researching and developing minimum impact hydrokinetic turbines. We have also received a US patent on its technology.
