We will hopefully start producing electricity in November. Historic data suggests the scheme will be operational for 70% of the year, generating about 320MWh of renewable electricity each year. Email us at reading.hydro.cbs@gmail.com with any questions. #rdguk #sustainable
A new fish pass will be made as part of the scheme. It is a natural design and allows fish and eels to move upstream and will improve the river environment. Email us with any questions on the environmental impact at reading.hydro.cbs@gmail.com #rdguk #sustainable #greenenergy

The turbines should generate about 320MWh of renewable electricity each year. This is enough to supply about 90 average homes – this is 0.2% of Reading’s homes – but every little counts! Go to: https://hydro.readinguk.org/shares/ to find out more.
