micro-hydroelectric solutions

Gilkes has an enviable reputation in the hydro industry for producing bespoke hydro turbine systems, which are custom made to meet the requirements in terms of control, performance and long life.

To address the growing demand of small “micro” installations, Gilkes now offers a COMPACT RANGE of hydro turbines. They are designed as an ideal solution for those places where electrical energy is not available from the national grid such as rural communities and isolated sites, but they can also work in parallel with the grid to resell the energy.

The compact range includes Turgo and Kaplan turbines.

We have put together a step-by-step guide to small / micro hydro available to download which includes information on how to measure if you have a viable hydro scheme.  You can also download the Compact Range brochure by clicking the link below.



Once you have established whether you have a viable scheme, please use the contact form entering details of your enquiry into the relevant fields, and we will get back to you.
