Stockport Hydro

Highlight • Structure

Stockport Hydro, located at Otterspool Weir on Mill Lane in Romiley, Stockport (SK6 7HE), is a community-owned hydroelectric scheme that has been generating renewable energy since 2012 [1]. While the site doesn't have regular public opening hours, they occasionally host open afternoons where visitors can tour the facility and learn about its operations. For instance, an open afternoon was held on November 24, 2024 [2]. To stay informed about upcoming events, it's advisable to check their official website or contact them directly. Additionally, the site is adjacent to a public footpath shared by the Midshires Way, a long-distance hiking trail, making it accessible for walkers who wish to view the facility from the outside.
