Thélème Hydro offers guidance on the possibilities of installing small hydro-electric schemes (typically under 50kW output).
Based on the experience of installing our own system which has been running since December 2006 and of surveying of over 250 potential sites in and near Dumfries & Galloway (Scotland), we can provide an initial view on the feasibility of a scheme, its likely costs and benefits, and how to go about your own project.
If you would like to know more and think you have a suitable watercourse nearby with a fall of 20 metres or more, complete the enquiry form in the Contact Us tab.
