The hydro is generating again

As usual over the summer Osney Lock Hydro has not been running because of low river flows. The generating season has begun with dramatic rainfall. We started running around midday on Sunday 22 September during heavy rain and on Monday afternoon, 23 September, we are almost at full capacity.
