Professional Water Turbine Installer in Michigan?

Not sure if this is the right forum -- feel free to move.

I've tried Google searching and can't find anything specific or that looks reputable. I have a friend who runs a business -- on the business site they have a dam that could produce quite a bit of power and they would like to feed this back to the power company. This is rural, the power company supports this type of install and has provisions for the backfeeding, but does not have a recommended vendor or know of anyone who could do an install.

Anyone here know of a firm that handles jobs like these?

Thanks and feel free to PM me for specifics.

As big as you want. There are a bunch of Chinese companies, who knows with them. This site is a start, while the dam is somewhat important the drop, volume and penstock make it all work.

Thanks for the link. That looks more for parts like turbines or spoons -- I am looking for an installer/consultant. Anyone know of any national firms?
