Renewable energy

We have extensive experience in the problems associated with both the estimation of resource and reliability of resources for the estimation of hydropower generation potential. Our staff were involved in the development of the ESHA (European Small Hydropower Association) Atlas and the associated HydrA software package.

Using LowFlows we can provide theoretical estimates of resource availability, and we have wide experience in the best use of local measured flow data in the estimation process. Our hydrometric monitoring team can provide you with a cost effective service of continuous river gauging to support your hydropower scheme proposals.

Our renewables experience also includes the hydrological and water quality aspects of environmental impact assessment for both hydro and wind power.
