Our Nethermills Hydro Scheme on the River Ayr reached the final stages of the Ayrshire Business Awards, Planet Saver category.
Fully owned and operated by our subsidiary company Energy Agency Renewables Ltd, the Hydro Scheme is generating green electricity to help support the needs of neighbouring Ayrshire College with any surplus being fed into the national grid. As a non-profit orgasnisation, all funds generated will be used to support future green energy projects in the local area.

The winner was announced at a Gala Dinner on 14th October 2022 at Ayr Racecourse and we would like to congratulate the overall winner in the Planet Saver category, Robert Burns Birthplace Museum for their achievement. Our thanks also go to Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce for a fantastic event celebrating great Ayrshire Businesses.
"We were delighted to be selcted as a finalist in the Ayshire Business Awards. The Nethermills Hydro Scheme is a fantastic demonstration project for what can be acheived with renewable energy. Archimedes screws are a robust technology with a proven track record but to our knowledge, this is the first of its kind in such a shallow setting at just 15 degrees. We hope it will inspire people for many generations."
