New Active Energy turbine planned for the Lower Lea

Through dialogue with Love the Lea/Thames21 the idea has developed to launch the Big Lottery-funded Active Energy Project in Bow, where the outflow from part of the Three Mills heritage site will be utilized to drive a small turbine. This will in turn power an aerator that will help oxygenate the water to counteract the effects of pollution and support the survival of fish. This is a continuing collaboration with The Geezers (Age Concern, Bow) and other partners including Love the Lea/T21 and the House Mill. The project will be led by Dr. Loraine Leeson

​Lee Valley Hydrocitizenship will be engaging with local schools and communities around to bring awareness to the project.

Launch: National Mills Weekend, 14-15 May 2016
