Brendon Energy is applying for permissions for a hydropower scheme on the River Exe, projected to generate 450,000kWh of electricity each year, saving 240 tonnes of CO2 yearly. Financial projections indicate the project will generate a substantial annual Community Fund over the 20 years of the project. The scheme features a ‘fish friendly’ Archimedes screw turbine.
We will be holding a drop-in community engagement event in Tiverton in the New Year, and we would love to have your support! Please come along to Tiverton Town Hall, St Andrew Street, EX16 6PG on Saturday 21st January. We will be there from 2-5pm answering your questions, showing plans and photos, and offering tea, coffee and cake!
