Send us a short brief on your site and we will confirm which mini-hydro guide step to start with.

Section 01

Before you get in touch

A mini-hydro project usually starts with a clear picture of the water source, the available head, and the flow you can expect across a typical year. Having these figures ready makes the first conversation faster and more useful.

Our guide follows the same order as a site assessment: resource, layout, equipment, permits, and build. Your message can follow that order too.

What to include

  • Nearest watercourse and its approximate width
  • Estimated height difference between intake and turbine
  • Any existing weir, leat, or pipework
  • Your intended use of the electricity

Leave a field blank if you do not know the figure yet. We will ask for it in the reply.

Questions about contacting us

We read the brief, check it against the step-by-step guide, and reply with the information we still need before a site visit can be planned.

A desk review of flow and head usually comes first. A site survey follows once the outline layout looks feasible on paper.

For general background, read the frequently asked questions or review the guide steps before you write.

This page does not provide quotations. Technical advice in the reply is general and must be confirmed by a qualified engineer on site.
