The owner of a small scale hydro electric station at Kilnstones in Longsleddale, Lake District, UK
The owner of a small scale hydro electric station at Kilnstones in Longsleddale, Lake District, UK, checks the output from the system. The system incorporates a refurbished 76 year old pelton turbine. It can generate 25 Kw of electricity and with the feed in tariff for renewable energy generation should make the owner around £25,000 per year. It has a head of 100 metres. There is huge potential for small scalehydro projects in the Lake District, and other upland areas of the UK.
