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.

"Proterra was involved in our project right from the start. It was a challenging and ambitious project with energy generation, storage and distribution. To have an adaptable and solutions oriented company like Proterra involved was superb. They are professional and trustworthy and I would recommend them to anyone with an off grid energy project."
