The Pico-Stream Turbine – Hydropower without the Hassle

Amount awarded: £48,200

Led by: The Fish Friendly Hydropower Company Ltd

The Fish Friendly Hydropower Company Ltd’s Pico-Stream Turbine is a game-changing solution for the UK Water Industry. The lightweight, recyclable polymer turbine generates up to 8,900kWh/year of green energy and can be easily fitted to water transfer channels and outflows at WasteWater Treatment Plants[WWTPs] with minimal operational impact. The floating ‘plug & play’ Turbine is a sustainable and cost-effective means of increasing the water sector’s energy recovery and climate resilience, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future. We are excited to apply for the grant to scale up production and make a meaningful impact in the industry.
