A great picture of the weir with Torrs Hydro blending beautifully into the landscape.
This week the battle with leaves and dead wood at the intake continues and to date it looks like we are on top.
Since Archie was turned back on overnight on 1 November it has been running continuously and it looks like by the end of November we will have one of our highest production months since the scheme started (it may yet be the highest, but we don't want to tempt fate)

Three months in one
November continues to bring the rains as promised and with the rains come higher river levels and ultimately more electricity.
We have already produced more electricity in the first eleven days of November than we did in the whole of August, September and October combined.
Long may it continue !

Team work

Some great team work over the past week - with the heavy rains came lots of river debris (especially leaves) which build up in a matter of hours to reduce the amount of water that flows through the screw which in turn reduces the amount of electricity we produce.
'Archie' has already producing more electricity in November than it did in the whole of September and October and has several times gone through that 50 kWh barrier - will November end up being a record month - lets wait and see !
