Bath & North East Somerset Council is set to allocate £1.85 million in its capital budget to develop a business case for a hydroelectric power scheme to replace the Pulteney Radial Gate, deemed at the end of its life. This scheme could harness the flow of the River Avon to generate power for Bath's Guildhall.

The allocated funds will cover the business case and design work, while further financing will be necessary for construction. A paper on the capital budget will be presented to the council cabinet on February 12, followed by a full council vote on February 24.
