Renewable energy from the Dommel
In the spring of 2016, work began on the construction of a new hydroelectric power station on the River Dommel, near Sint-Michielsgestel (North Brabant). On 13 September of that year, the existing weir in the river was fitted with a Landustrie hydropower screw. This installation generates renewable energy for around 200 households.
The power station is an initiative of the Dommelstroom energy cooperative and was made possible partly through crowdfunding.

What we delivered
For this project, we supplied a semi-compact hydropower screw with a diameter of 4 metres and a length of 6 metres. The screw pump was installed in a self-supporting metal trough.
The generator and gearbox are positioned separately on a separate concrete foundation. Thanks to its design, the plant is completely fish-friendly - fish are not affected by the operation of the hydropower screw.
Why this solution?
- Generating renewable energy
- High efficiency
- Reducing CO2 emissions
- Fish-friendly design
- Short payback period
- Long service life
