Engineer checking equipment in power station including a Pelton turbine Dulyn hydro site part of Dolgarrog hydroelectric scheme


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.
