Community Energy Project

Talybont on Usk Energy owns and manages a community hydro scheme in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Our 36kW hydro electric turbine works off the compensation flow from Talybont Reservoir and has been running since 2006. It was the first community hydro scheme in Wales.

We sell the electricity generated by the hydro via Good Energy and invest the income in energy saving and sustainable living projects within our rural community in the Brecon Beacons.
