Archimedes screws in Oxford.

- Osney Lock Hydro is the first community owned hydro scheme to be built on the Thames. There are two screws in the area, this one generating 45kwh and a smaller privately owned one at Osney Mill of 25kwh. Both are fully operational, generating clean green electricity. Osney Lock Hydro is predicted to generate more than 179,000 kWh of clean electricity annually. That’s equivalent to the electricity used by 55 homes. This sequence was filmed on 4 February 2019 during a visit by the AOUP group.
