SUPERIOR RENEWABLE ENERGY STORAGE

Humpback Hydro Inc.

Mark Legacy Founder & CEO

The world needs renewable energy to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels

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

Constant water supply from ocean or lake

Pump water into reservoir for storage (off-peak)

Release when needed
