Dulas completes hydro scheme on existing Welsh Water reservoir

摘要

Renewable energy consultancy Dulas has completed a 250kW hydroelectric scheme at Welsh Water's existing Llys y Fran reservoir. The scheme, located in a Pembrokeshire country park, controls the flow release to the river Syfynwy to support abstraction at a pumping station located some 15km downstream. Commissioned in September 2017, the scheme is already approaching 1 million kWh of generated electricity, and will power a planned visitors centre, activity hub and boathouse, as well as exporting energy to the National Grid.
