Galway City Council has received a €3.36 million EU grant for the WATERWAY project, focusing on revitalizing the city's historic canals. Funded through the European Regional Development Fund, the project will install three small-scale hydropower turbines at sites including the Mill Street Canal and Terryland Waterworks, generating electricity for public consumption.

The project aims to enhance sustainability and community engagement, featuring a Living Lab for educational workshops. The first turbine installation is expected in 2026, with project completion by early 2029.
