They are getting close the goal but only have until the end of the week to get the rest so if anyone is interested take a look. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10483#post-114908 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:22:07 +0000 gembo 114908@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Think it took five years to get this one to the Stage it is at now, lot of hard work from the organisers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10483#post-114800 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:15:37 +0000 Cyclingmollie 114800@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There have been other attempts to develop small hydro projects in Scotland but it seems to be quite difficult to get them past the various planning consent people. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10483#post-114787 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:20:07 +0000 AKen 114787@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I saw this on the cover of the Currie and Balerno News in April. I was entirely convinced it was an April Fool and was surprised to discover it was true. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10483#post-114764 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:17:53 +0000 gembo 114764@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The finance part of the scheme is closing on 28th of June so if you want some shares now is the time. The organisers have raised nearly all the £300K needed but still a little short so, as it says on poster acrossmfrommmy house now is your chance to buy a bit of green energy. Should you wish to invest </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10483#post-114760 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 22:05:13 +0000 chdot 114760@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.harlawhydro.org.uk/open-meeting-25th-june" rel="nofollow">http://www.harlawhydro.org.uk/open-meeting-25th-june</a></p> <p>"<br /> Harlaw Hydro will replace the former micro-hydro installation with an updated micro hydroelectric scheme that utilises the outflow from Harlaw Reservoir.</p> <p>A 65kW hydro scheme will take water from the dam’s penstocks (reservoir dam outflows) at Harlaw Reservoir returning flow to the dam discharge channel prior to it forming Bavelaw Burn. The reconstructed turbine house will be located to the north east of the discharge channel at the foot of the Harlaw Reservoir dam replacing the disused building.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.harlawhydro.org.uk/proposal" rel="nofollow">http://www.harlawhydro.org.uk/proposal</a> </p>
