July output 20,000kWh – only 50% of last years generation.

However - lowest ever was July 2018 with only 3,000 kWh. Please also note - Four schools in the area have had solar panels fitted, paid for by the Whalley Hydro Community Benefit Fund. Together they produced 5,570kWh of power during last month.

Another dry April with low generation.

This is the third dry April in a row with less than 9,000 kW generated. April 2016 saw over 42,000kW!

Solar PV systems output

WCHL have installed Solar pv systems on 4 Primary Schools in the area as part of their Community Benefit work - to date they have generated over 48,000 kilowatt hours of power and saved over 48,000 kg of Co2 equivalent to planting more than 130 trees!

Bottom bearing replaced and production restarted.

Turbine stopped due to mechanical issues.
