We have a long history of dedication to small scale hydro,
demonstrated both by our operational record and our involvement with the
British Hydropower Association, sitting on its Council for over 14
years and then on its board from inception to present.

Here at Derwent Hydro we have a combination of track record, expertise
and experience that we think is hard to beat in small hydropower. Very
few in the industry have been in the business since the 1980s as we
have. From that time on we have maintained our enthusiasm for delivering
practical solutions for hydropower sites in order to see this great
renewable resource used to its full potential, whilst widening our
expertise and areas of work.

Good hydro development is a complex task because no two sites are the
same and because each site has many issues to consider – including
providing a reliable solution, safeguarding the local environment,
protecting fish, maximising power and income and keeping costs low
enough for implementation to be viable. We have the experience and
understanding necessary to look at all the factors together and produce
the best possible solutions.
