Hydroelectric plant developer Gravity Renewables raises $7M

Boulder-based Gravity Renewables has raised a new $7 million round of equity funding that will help it continue to revamp hydroelectric plants around the country.

The Daily Camera reports that the company disclosed the funding round in a filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.

Gravity, founded in 2012, operates and develops small hydroelectric power plants. Sometimes that means buying or leasing non-powered dams and adding hydroelectric facilities. Sometimes it means buying or leasing older plants to refurbish and operate.
