At Helium Power Energy, we sit at the intersection of renewable energy leadership and thermal generation expertise. We develop, engineer, construct, and operate power generation assets that provide the world with clean, reliable electricity.
Hydropower is the world's single largest renewable electricity source — generating over 4,578 TWh in 2024 and supplying 14.3% of the planet's electricity. Thermal power remains the backbone of baseload generation. Helium Power Energy masters both.
From high-head Pelton turbines in alpine terrain to large-scale Francis installations, from Kaplan turbines on low-head rivers to 64%-efficiency combined-cycle gas facilities — we deliver energy that communities and industries can depend on.
“Where water meets power — and precision meets scale.”
Hydropower has supplied humanity with electricity for over 130 years. Today it remains the world's dominant renewable source — and through pumped storage, it provides more than 99% of all grid-scale energy storage globally. We harness every drop.
Large storage dams. Most widely installed turbine on Earth. Powers Three Gorges, Grand Coulee.
High-head alpine rivers. High-velocity jets strike bucket wheels at atmospheric pressure.
Low-head run-of-river plants. Double-regulated blades maintain peak efficiency across variable flow.
Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) accounts for over 99% of the world's bulk energy storage. During surplus generation, water is pumped uphill. During peak demand, it flows back down through reversible turbines — with a round-trip efficiency of approximately 80%.
For the first time in history (2024), renewables and nuclear combined covered 40% of total global electricity generation — with hydropower leading all individual renewable sources.
All thermal power plants share a fundamental principle: heat converts water into steam, steam drives a turbine, and a turbine drives a generator. The difference — and where Helium Power Energy excels — lies in which heat source and what cycle delivers the best outcome for each project.
Brayton + Rankine cycles in series. Exhaust heat recovered by HRSG to drive a steam turbine — the most efficient large-scale thermal technology commercially available.
Rapid-start (< 10 min) gas turbine for peak demand response. Lower efficiency but critical grid flexibility — can ramp from cold to full power faster than any other technology.
Earth's internal heat drives steam turbines (dry, flash, or binary cycle). ~90% capacity factor rivals nuclear — nearly continuous output with minimal fuel cost and near-zero lifecycle emissions.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) from sustainably-sourced biomass achieves up to 80% total energy utilisation. Dispatchable, carbon-neutral when certified, and compatible with existing coal infrastructure.
From the first hydrological survey to a 40-year O&M contract, Helium Power Energy is your partner at every stage of a power asset's life. We don't just build and leave — we operate, optimise, and evolve assets for maximum lifetime value.
Full-lifecycle development from hydrological analysis and turbine selection (Francis, Pelton, Kaplan) through civil design, commissioning, and handover. 10 MW to 1,000+ MW.
Combined-cycle gas turbine plants achieving up to 64% efficiency, geothermal developments in tectonically active regions, and biomass CHP solutions with up to 80% energy utilisation.
Design and delivery of PSH facilities providing grid-balancing, renewable integration, and multiple revenue streams across energy, capacity, and ancillary service markets.
Long-term O&M with predictive maintenance, digital monitoring, and deep technical expertise. Our operated fleet maintains >97% plant availability across all asset types.
Lead contractor for complex power projects, managing procurement of turbines and generators (ANDRITZ, Voith, GE Vernova, Siemens Energy) through to grid connection.
PPA structuring, capacity market strategy, and real-time energy trading across NYMEX, ICE, EPEX, and EEX platforms. We help assets maximise lifetime revenue.
A cascade of three run-of-river plants on a major West African river, providing clean baseload power to over 800,000 households. Features digital SCADA control and remote monitoring.
High-head pumped storage in the Central European Alps. Upper reservoir at 2,100m elevation; 850m head. Critical grid-balancing asset for regional renewable integration.
Ultra-efficient CCGT plant in the Gulf region. Three GE 9HA gas turbines in combined-cycle configuration achieving 63.4% net efficiency — reducing CO₂ per MWh by 45% vs. regional baseline.
Flash steam geothermal plant tapping high-enthalpy resources in the East African Rift Valley. 94% capacity factor, zero fuel cost, and providing dispatchable baseload power.
We are among the few companies globally with deep expertise in both hydropower and high-efficiency thermal generation. Where others specialise in one, we integrate both — delivering a complete, baseload-capable solution for any grid.
From the first hydrological survey to 40-year O&M contracts, Helium Power Energy is your partner at every stage. We don't just build and leave — we operate, optimise, and evolve assets for maximum lifetime value.
With projects across multiple continents and thousands of MW delivered, our track record is our proof. Alpine environments, tropical river basins, geothermally active zones, and arid thermal markets — we've done it.
Hydropower carries just 24 gCO₂/kWh lifecycle emissions — among the lowest of any electricity source. Our thermal assets prioritise high-efficiency, low-emission technologies. We leave the environment better than we found it.
Our projects are designed to international standards (IEC, IEEE, IFC Performance Standards) and consistently financed by multilateral development banks and institutional lenders. Helium Power Energy engineering is bankable engineering.
The IEA identifies pumped storage hydropower as irreplaceable on the path to net zero. Our PSH pipeline connects directly to the 600 GW under global development. We're not just on the right side of the transition — we're leading it.
Our team has experience across hydropower, thermal, pumped storage, geothermal, and grid integration. Let's start with a conversation.
Whether you're exploring a greenfield hydropower development, need O&M expertise for an existing thermal plant, or are seeking a grid integration partner — our team is ready to listen and respond.
