RWE Npower: hydro schemes and pumped storage in the UK
Every hydroelectric scheme and pumped-storage station in the UK government's register of power stations, from small run-of-river schemes to Cruachan and Dinorwig. Each site page merges the government's operating record with its planning history where the two match.
Planning, consented, under-construction and stopped projects open in the project pipeline.
