Hydro Power
Run-of-the-river hydro projects harness the natural flow of rivers to generate electricity.
They work by diverting an environmentally sustainable quantity of river water into a turbine for power production, which then rejoins the river afterwards. This ensures natural flow patterns are maintained, minimising disruption to ecosystems and supporting biodiversity.
Context
No two hydro sites are the same, but typically require consistent water flow and reasonable height differences in the watercourse between the water intake and the generating plant.
Expertise
Our 500kW Carie hydro project in Scotland is our flagship hydro scheme, demonstrating our expertise and capabilities in development, construction, operations and asset management.
