Hydropower: Landowner Information Pack Hydropower is the most efficient of all renewable technologies. The energy output is highly predictable and the equipment has a long life, typically 50 years or more. Hydropower schemes have little visual impact – they are low to the ground, unobtrusive, have no glare issues, make little noise and have no waste products. Hydropower enables landowners to increase and diversify their income sources whilst supporting the UK’s commitment to climate change. Hydropower technology is cost effective and widely deployed. The UK has more than 2,000 Megawatts of hydropower potential which can be developed now and in the future. The support available to hydropower investors in Scotland, England Wales and Northern Ireland is favourable – Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROCs) and Feed-in-Tariffs (FiTs) offer a long-term reliable income source which is shared with the landowner and supports construction finance.
