Llynau Diwaunedd lake helps supply water to Garnedd Hydro electric scheme power generation turbine hall North Wales
Site generates green renewable electricity for up to 350 homes in the area. Water passes through an intake grid chamber and onto a turbine generator. The turbine is controlled from a computerised panel and the amount of electricity generated is dependant on the amount and flow of water from the pipe. A tailrace returns the water after it has passed through the turbine to the main stream. The generation of this clean electricity will help prevent an annual release of many tonnes of the main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, which is a major contibutor to global warming and climate change.
