Neen Sollars Community Hydro owned and ran a 12.5kW hydroelectric installation at Tetstill Mill, Neen Sollars on the River Rea. The project was funded by a co-operative share issue and owned by local people. The turbine provided green electricity to the local electrical grid – at its height around 10-20% of the domestic power use in Neen Sollars.
The turbine has had serious operational issues due to the installer going bust but was brought back into full production by a volunteer team of members and supporters.
Unfortunately serious flood damage to the turbine occurred and the Society has taken the difficult decision to close.
Supported by generous grants from Leominster Community Solar and the Midcounties Co-operative
