Hydro Power
Most farms in the UK have a source of water, but its potential as an alternative source of income is rarely investigated. If your property has a suitable volume of water with a great enough difference in height between source and outflow, you could use it to produce hydro power.
Carter Jonas can help. We have an experienced team who are devoted to the development of hydro electric schemes. We are currently working on in the region of 40 schemes. Working for land owners and developers alike we are able to carry out feasibility studies, promote your site to established hydro developers, negotiate option and lease arrangements or joint ventures, and guide you through the planning process. We also offer services in relation to valuation.
We provide the full service.
