 The Hydro-Electric Plant Peter Robertson explaining the workings The head of water from the private resevoir is over 90 metres. Small Scale Hydroelectric Schemes provide long-term benefits, both environmental and finacial. Plans are in preparation to build a new plant in the field, 30 metres lower. Surplus power from the new plant will be fed into the National Grid. This is an essential requirement of the economics to make the project viable. Camera: Lumix TZ3. Largs, 10 April 2008 |
