An outline scheme has been granted planning permission, consisting of an inlet structure, penstock, turbine house and outlet, with electrical connections into both the Whinlatter Visitor Centre and into Thornthwaite, for export to the National Grid.

This tender is for the award of a Contract for the design, manufacture, supply, installation, commissioning and the planned and reactive maintenance of a suitable turbine. The maintenance service will be for an initial period of four years post commissioning.
