One of two hydro schemes that are under development by BWCE on the River Avon, at the Old Mill Hotel in Bathampton, Bath, is a replacement waterwheel, capable of delivering approximately 87,000 kWh per year.
The waterwheel has the capacity to generate 13.5kW of electricity – which may not seem much but assuming reasonable river conditions it will generate clean electricity 24 hours a day 365 days a year – thats enough to meet the equivalent annual electricity demand from 20 homes. We hope that the waterwheel will also act as an education facility and a tourist attraction.
