In collaboration with UHI North, West & Hebrides
About
Explore the potential of micro hydropower with a 9.5kw Turgo turbine, supplied by "Hydrover Turbines" in Wales, monitored by "Sustainable Control Systems" gear, and designed by Jamie Wallace of "Highland Eco Ltd." The groundwork used second-hand 300mm pipe from a local fish farm, and it has run flawlessly for 10 years.
