Anyone got any news on the Hydro schemes that were planned for the Sheffield area at Kelham Island and Jordan Dam. It seems to have gone very quiet for the last 3 years since they were 'almost ready' for implementation - Most of the googleable info on them appears to be out of date, too!
The one that was planned for the local Irwell seems to have run into trouble and reputedly been abandoned. The EA have been less than forthcoming with information, too.
Given there were many concerns for the impacts for local angling and longer term effects on fish migration for a number of hydro-projects around the country - I'm surprised at the way it's gone quiet!
Have the Sheffield schemes been implemented / abandoned / being re-appraised?
