Shrewsbury Weir proposal
Sharenergy, working with All Rivers Hydro, have put in an Expression of Interest for the lease of land at Castlefields weir in Shrewsbury. Shropshire Council announced a call for expressions of interest, and our submission went in on Friday 4 June (the deadline). Our proposal builds on the detailed assessment and design work we have done on the site, working with our hydro consultants (IT Power) and many of the UK’s most respected hydropower suppliers and installers. As with all our projects, the hydro installation would be entirely owned and managed by local people, with the finance raised through a public share issue. We’re really excited by the opportunity to bid for this and confident that our proposal will bring the greatest benefit to the environment and to the people of Shrewsbury. Now we have to wait and hope the Council see it the same way!
