Coniston case study
The Coniston Hydro Scheme is on Church Beck, draining the Furness Fells above Coniston, in the Lake District National Park. The site was first developed in 1932 initially supplying power for Barrow County Council and latterly for the village of Coniston until the mid-1950s when it fell into disuse in favor of the National Grid. In 2007 a Gilkes turbine was re-installed now producing 300kW of renewable power.

Grytviken case study
The Return of Hydropower in an Antarctic Oasis... South Georgia is located in the middle of the South Atlantic some 1400 kilometres from the Falkland Islands. Up until recently the island relied entirely upon diesel generators and oil-fired boilers that consumed over 150,000 litres of oil per year and emitted almost 400 tonnes of carbon dioxide, now Grytviken is run on a Gilkes Turgo Impulse hydropower turbine, producing 230kW of power, which is renewable.
