Repowering our Beochlich hydro project
We worked closely with the project landowner to extend the operational life of the 1MW project for another 25 years.
Operational since 1998, the two Pelton 21X2.45 turbines have had a fantastic operational life, generating roughly 4.5GWh of renewable electricity a year – enough to power 1,126 UK homes. Nearing the end of our original lease, we worked closely with the local landowner to extend the life of the project for another 25 years, meaning it will carry on generating clean power until at least 2049.
And, as well as being a key renewable energy source for local homes and businesses, the project helps to regulate the water flow at Beochlich which is positive for plant health and irrigation purposes.
