A West Coast Estate

Proterra Energy was employed to determine a practical energy solution for a remote off grid Estate on the west coast.

A low head hydro scheme was identified as the best option for meeting all the power requirements of the Estate in a manner that would ensure the sustainabilty of all the Estate's activities.

​

The result was a 36kW hydro scheme, coupled with an intelligent power hub including an 80kWhr battery bank.

​

The system powers a lodge, 8 other properties and a walkers bothy.
