Stratford's Proposed Hydro Electricity Generator Could Supply Power to Royal Shakespeare Company
HYDRO POWER
A proposed hydro electricity generator on the River Avon in Stratford aims to produce approximately 350 megawatts annually, with a feasibility study expected soon after delays. The project, part of the Liberal Democrats' green spending plans, has received a £1.5 million allocation and could supply green energy to the Royal Shakespeare Company. Installation near Lucy's Mill is projected to generate around one megawatt daily, with a payback period of 19.5 years and associated risks related to site suitability and alternative energy projects.
