Humpback Hydro Inc.
SUPERIOR RENEWABLE ENERGY STORAGE
Mark Legacy
Founder & CEO
The world needs
reliable, base load
renewable energy to
reduce its reliance
on fossil fuels
BUT, the sun doesn’t
always shine and
the wind doesn’t
always blow
Pumped-storage
Hydroelectricity
…Is capital
intensive
and
inefficient
Humpback’s Solution
Turnkey hydro storage built near renewable
energy source
How it works
④
Release when
needed
①
Constant
water supply
from ocean or
lake
Gravitational
②flow to
generate
power
③
Pump water
into reservoir
for storage
(off-peak)
