## Summary

The tender titled "8587 Hydroelectric Power in Historic Landscapes" is being conducted by Historic England in the UK. The procurement process is currently in the "open" stage, with a tender period ending on 9th December 2022 and a contract period starting from 8th January 2023 to 30th September 2023. The project falls under the services category and focuses on research and development services related to hydro schemes in historic landscapes.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses interested in research and development services related to micro-hydro schemes within historic landscapes. Companies specializing in renewable energy, civil engineering, and environmental consultancy may find this tender well-suited for business growth. Interested suppliers can register at Historic England's platform to express interest and obtain relevant documentation for participation.

## Notice

This project is to investigate the performance of a cross-section of micro-hydro schemes currently operating within historic landscapes in the UK. Despite being a well-established and mature technology, high capital costs, predominantly owing to civil engineering works, may deter investment and prevent the use of a readily available energy resource. The historic built environment has the potential to overcome economic barriers associated with new hydroelectric schemes. Historic water mills, which would otherwise be stranded assets, have the potential to be re-purposed for hydroelectric power generation. As well as being favourably sited to maximise energy potential, readapting water mills has the potential to reduce the embodied carbon emissions and overall environmental impact compared to constructing a new hydropower scheme. Whilst there are numerous live examples of these projects across the UK, there is a need to integrate best practice so that the latent potential of micro hydro can be maximised where feasible.
