How big is Elan Valley Hydro Scheme?
Elan Valley Hydro Scheme has a recorded installed capacity of 2.9 MW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.
Who operates Elan Valley Hydro Scheme?
REPD records the operator as Dwr Cymru Welsh Water. Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.
