Reclamation of a former sawmill to produce electricity

  • France (88)
  • 2021
  • 15-46 kW
  • Feasibility study
  • Old sawmill with part of the original equipment still visible. Few hydrological data available. Assessment of the original mechanical power thanks to the penstock diameter and data of equivalent facilities. Analysis of two scenarios: with the original mechanical power and with a power increase. The energy production, the annual average production income, the construction costs, and the investment payback have been assessed. Schematic plans.
