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.

Working in collaboration with Stemy Energy and researchers from Comilla University in Madrid to reduce carbon emissions. They have developed the Flex Community smart app which manages home electricity consumption by learning energy requirements, predicting weather patterns and remotely controlling (within pre-set comfort levels) when the immersion heater heats hot water to coincide with when renewable electricity is generating.
This pilot operated in two streets in the Bear Flat area of Bath, designed to test the degree to which a collective community approach could be taken to shifting electricity demand away from peak to off peak times. It integrated the use of domestic solar PV, battery storage and a simulated Time of Use electricity tariff (ToUT).
