Derby has approved plans for new hydroelectric turbines on the River Derwent, which could generate renewable energy. The existing hydro plant powers the Council House and has generated nearly £17,000 worth of electricity.
Darley Community Energy is advancing a project for a similar turbine at Darley Abbey. Funding will now support a business case for another turbine near Borrowash, which could help power the SmartParc business park in Spondon. The Environment Agency has agreed to increase the current plant's output by at least 60%.
