Micro Hydro Scheme Installation Case Study: Rigg, Isle of Skye

Introduction

Rigg is one of five micro hydro schemes installed by Proterra Energy on the Isle of Skye and was commissioned in 2016 with a power output of 50kW.

The scheme operates with an over 90% load factor and so provides a reliable and secure source of local generation.

Proterra Energy continue to supply both maintenance and monitoring for the scheme.
