Aslan Renewables is on a mission to unlock Canada’s dormant hydropower potential. We have developed a modular, fish-safe, and environmentally sound hydro system designed for underserved and remote communities. Developed in collaboration with Canadian First Nations and leading global environmental groups, our systems install quickly fitting into existing dam infrastructure, scale to thousands of sites, and provide dependable baseload power — at a fraction of the cost of leading renewable energy sources. Founded in 2021 by a 2x exit entrepreneur, we are venture-backed and supported by renowned international investors like Antares Ventures, MaRS Investment Accelerator Fund, UCEED Energy Fund, and renewable energy executives. Aslan has secured Power Purchase Agreements across hundreds of sites and is scaling its deployments in Canada and internationally.
