Claim This ListingFounded in 2008, Torrs Hydro is a Stockport-based business with roughly 18 years of operating history serving Greater Manchester.
How Torrs Hydro describes their work in their own words: “Our reverse Archimedes screw turbine (known as Archie) is located at the confluence of two rivers, the Sett and the Goyt. Since he started generating in the summer of 2008, Archie sailed past 2,000 MWh of clean, green electricity that is sent directly to the nearby Co-op supermarket on 26th November 2024. Any surplus is fed into the National Grid.”
Continuing from their own copy: “We celebrated Archie’s 15th “birthday” on Saturday, September 30th 2023 down at the site. It poured it down, which seems appropriate as this is the kind of weather Archie loves! Not so great for the volunteers present, although slightly damp cake still tastes good, and spirits (of the non-alcoholic variety) remained high. We have come a long way in the last 15 years.”
