- Finish Wednesday 04 Dec 2024 3:00pm
Join the Oxford Energy Society for a guided tour of Osney Lock Hydro, the first hydroelectric scheme on the River Thames. Set up and funded by 200 community members, it became fully operational in May 2015, generating clean electricity for the equivalent of 50 households and a long-term income stream for local environmental projects. It paves the way for community-led projects to tap on the abundant renewable energy resources available in the UK.
Don’t miss this chance to discover how local initiatives can harness renewable energy for a sustainable future!
Meet in front of Said Business School at 1.30pm
