Worcestershire Proposes Hydroelectric Turbine on River Severn to Power Homes
A proposal by Worcestershire county councillor Richard Udall aims to build a hydroelectric turbine on the River Severn weir in Worcester, potentially powering hundreds of homes. The project seeks collaboration with the University of Worcester and National Grid, with funding from the sale of rural assets for a feasibility study. The turbine's design is inspired by a similar project in Totnes, Devon, which powers local facilities and could generate enough energy for approximately 300 homes.
