Shrewsbury Hydro Limited has applied to the Environment Agency for a full licence to abstract water from the River Severn at Castlefields Weir, Shrewsbury.
The application is to abstract water between 1st January and 31st December inclusive in each year as follows:
- 108,000 cubic metres an hour
- 2,592,000 cubic metres a day
- 567,648,000 cubic metres a year
The water will be used for hydro-electric power generation and will be non-consumptive, with all water being returned to the River Severn immediately downstream of the weir.
The hydro scheme will use a single underground, double-regulated, horizontal water propeller turbine on the right bank of Shrewsbury Weir (aka Castlefields Weir) on the River Severn in Shrewsbury.
Shrewsbury Hydro Ltd is applying to the Environment Agency for a full licence to abstract water from the river to let it flow through the water turbine before re-entering the river just below the weir. A hands off flow (HoF) will be maintained across the weir and new fish pass will be installed prior to the turbine abstracting any water.
