The Totnes Renewable Energy Society (TRESOC), an Industrial & Provident Society in the UK, is seeking investment of £1.5 million for the development of hydropower and solar power schemes in Devon. The projects include two hydropower systems on the River Dart at Totnes Weir and Staverton Leat and a hydropower unit on the River Teign at Chudleigh, which is already successfully in operation. The solar schemes involve the installation of panels on housing, a museum and a farm. Once the technologies are installed, the power generated may be used locally or sold to the grid. Output is also eligible for payments through the government Feed In Tariff (FiT) scheme.
