Beeston Hydro

It is located on the River Trent, and generates up to 1.66 MW of electricity.

During 1999, Hyder Industrial Ltd. built the UK's largest "run-of river" hydro-electric plant at Beeston Rylands Weir.

The plant was commissioned on 4 January 2000 and later sold on to United Utilities[1] in 2001.

At the maximum consented flow rate, 60 m3/s of water passes through the pair of turbines.

Upstream of the weir and during the salmon migratory period, the plant utilises a bio-acoustic fish-fence—a bubble curtain in which the bubbles contain a sound that the fish do not like.
