Water Power Enterprises (H2oPE) has been granted £100,000 towards the cost of establishing a community-owned micro-hydro scheme in Stockport called Otterspool Community Hydro.
The site is one of three community hydro sites being developed by H2oPE and will eventually become a social enterprise for local communities to take ownership and management of their own renewable electricity source. Calculated to deliver 81.25 tonnes of CO2 savings each year, Otterspool is forecasted to generate 190MWH annual – enough to power over 40 homes in the area.
