Site Details

A nearby manor house used to be powered from a small hydro turbine running off the Logie Burn. We modernised the intake, utilised parts of the old system and extended the pipeline to harvest the maximum energy from the burn. The new scheme generates 12.5kW using the Pelton turbine shown below.

Electricity Output

The scheme will generate enough electricity to power 13.5 UK homes
