Executive Summary This business development plan provides information about Torrs Hydro New Mills Ltd (Torrs Hydro), and the business and community benefit cases for an upgrade to the micro-hydro plant owned by Torrs Hydro. Torrs Hydro, a 230-strong member-led Community Benefit Society, was founded in 2007, and has been generating renewable energy via a micro-hydro plant on the River Goyt at New Mills since 2008. It aims to provide community, environmental and educational benefit, including through a Community Fund to support local community development. We have the opportunity to upgrade the plant to significantly increase its productivity. At the time of writing, the upgrade is under way and has been funded through the society’s reserves, grants and loans, including a private loan from two Torrs Hydro members. We now wish to raise Community Share capital in order to repay the loan finance, to attract new members, and to enhance the amount that can be invested into the Torrs Hydro Community Fund. We are looking to raise £25,000-£28,644 of Community Share Capital. £25,000 of investment would repay the private loan, and £28,644 would enable us to repay both this and other loan finance. Torrs Hydro has previous experience of successfully attracting £126,000 of Community Share capital. Shares cost £1 each, and applicants are invited to purchase one or more bundles of 250 shares. Investors will receive an interest payment of up to 2% per year. Other surplus income from the proceeds of the power generation will contribute to the Community Fund. December 2020 Page 2 Business Development Plan Torrs Hydro New Mills 2.Our Origins, Vision & Purpose Torrs Hydro New Mills Ltd is a Community Benefit Society, owned and led by its members. It was established in 2007 by a small group of people keen to address environmental and sustainability issues who saw an opportunity in New Mills to develop renewable energy generation. Back in 2007 there was relatively little awareness or experience of small scale renewable energy schemes, and this pioneering project attracted a good deal of interest. Capital funding was required for the project, and local people said they were prepared to invest but were clear that the project had to be owned by its community of investors and benefit the local community. An appropriate legal structure was sought. Although not widely known at the time, under Industrial and Provident Society law a Community Benefit Society can issue ‘withdrawable’ shares that can be offered without the costly legal procedures required for transferable shares. Under this legal form members each have an equal voice regardless of the size of their shareholding, which also appealed to the founders. In coming together to work collaboratively, the founders aspired to an organisation that would, on a small scale, address renewable energy and climate change and energy security issues. They wanted to demonstrate what communities can do by coming together to act collectively; to pilot and demonstrate small scale renewable technology as well as a little known means of raising capital funding and community ownership; and to test market interest in small scale philanthropic investment for social/community purposes rather than purely personal benefit. They also wanted to stimulate community and environmental regeneration by providing educational opportunities and a community fund. New Mills is a small market town with a population of around 10,000 in the High Peak district of Derbyshire. It is situated on the western edge of the Peak District National Park, at the confluence of the rivers Sett and Goyt. These rivers, flowing from Kinder Scout and the hills above the town of Buxton, respectively, meet in a gorge known as the Torrs beneath the town, and provided the power for the town’s main industries in the 18 th and 19 th centuries. One mill building and the remains of several others and some of the mill workers’ cottages can still be seen alongside the rivers and, criti cally, several weirs remain. Of these, the top-most was considered to provide th e optimum site for a low-head hydro scheme. December 2020 Page 3 Business Development Plan Torrs Hydro New Mills 3.The Organisation 3.1. Structure and governance Torrs Hydro New Mills Ltd was established in 2007 as a community benefit society under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965, using model rules provided by Wessex Reinvestment Trust. The Cooperative and Community Benefit Societies Act of 2014 superseded the 1965 act, and Torrs Hydro now enjoys the status of a Community Benefit Society. Along with all other such societies, it is registered with and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, rather than Companies House. The main objectives of Torrs Hydro are to: ● Help regenerate the community and enhance the environmental sustainability of New Mills and the surrounding area ● Support education by raising awareness of the importance of sustainability issues, especially in the young people who are our future, and encouraging participation in green, asset based community development and enterprises with a community or environmental focus ● Provide an opportunity for public-spirited people and organisations to contribute financially to the community, with the expectation of a social dividend rather than personal financial reward. Under its rules, the society is permitted to acquire assets, lease property, make investments, take out loans and accept credit (community shares) in the interest of achieving its objectives. The society will not, however, pay a rate of interest that is higher than the society needs to retain the investment needed. (For full details, see section 33 of the society’s Rules.) The directors of Torrs Hydro meet bi-monthly (and when necessary more often) for board meetings. Board meetings are structured meetings with dates agreed and the agenda and key information circulated in advance. Each meeting is formally minuted. All directors have access to electronic copies of board papers and all other internal documents relating to the business and its operation. An annual general meeting for members is held each year, usually in April. Prior to this meeting, the directors prepare and present an annual report and accounts; these are also made available after the AGM on the organisation’s website. The directors have adopted a series of policies and procedures covering o Health & Safety o Confidentiality & Data Protection o Reserves These are reviewed bi-annually. The directors acknowledge their duty to seek external advice where the competencies required to make an informed decision are not held within the directors’ team. December 2020 Page 4 Business Development Plan Torrs Hydro New Mills 3.2. Our Team The Board of Directors is made up of a team of up to nine people.

THE FINANCIAL BIT 8. LEGAL STRUCTURES 9. OTHER DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS 10. CASE STUDIES © Power from the landscape 2009 1 1. OUR HERITAGE From the earliest times, water power has provided a pivotal role in the development of the South Pennines; from the early corn and fulling mills to the growth of the early Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In the early 1800s water was powering upwards of 100 mills in the upper Calder Valley alone. From the 1840s onwards, it was used to complement steam power and was still being used in some mills well into the 20th century. The evidence is permanently disappearing as the mills shut down, the mill ponds and goits dry up and the landscape changes back to its natural state. At present there are still small fragmented, tantalising clues to this not so distant past in the landscape itself. Our energy needs now are far greater than in the past and water levels have dropped significantly, but new technology can be used to harness the power that once turned the waterwheels. Power from the Landscape aims to make water power a common feature of the landscape once again It has the potential to provide a useful contribution to the power mix of the area, and it is a clean, readily available, environmentally friendly resource, with great heritage and community value.

Renewable energy comes from sources that don’t run out Source: BERR – like the sun, wind, tides, waves or plants. These natural sources can be harnessed to create electricity without adding carbon dioxide to the air. The UK has signed a Europe-wide agreement to get 20 per cent of all energy (not just electricity but heat and transport fuel too) from renewables by 2020. The UK’s share of this target is 15 per cent. We have a long way to go to reach this benchmark – in 2006 less than 2 per cent of all UK energy came from renewables.

  • Rivers As Material Infrastructure: a Legacy from the Past to the Future
    Edgeworth, Matt. 2018. Rivers as material infrastructure: a legacy from the past to the future. In Holt, Emily. (ed) Water and Power in Past Societies. Albany: SUNY Press, 243-257 (pre-publication version) RIVERS AS MATERIAL INFRASTRUCTURE: A LEGACY FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE Matt Edgeworth Abstract In 2010, a total of almost 26000 sites on rivers and streams were identified as having potential for small-scale hydropower generation in England and Wales alone. This paper examines the historic character of many of the river features, structures and layouts involved. It argues that a material infrastructure for the development of hydropower already exists in the form of heavily engineered watermill landscapes representing over a thousand years of human-river interaction, from at least the Late Saxon period (9th-11thcenturies CE) to the present day. As a legacy from the past, this infrastructure of leats, weirs and reservoirs could potentially be modified and re-used for production of renewable energy in the present and the future. Introduction The starting point for this paper is a map produced by the UK Environment Agency in 2010 (Figure 1). It identifies sites on rivers with potential for small-scale hydropower generation. Astonishingly, the map pinpoints nearly 26,000 sites in England and Wales alone. The report does not give detail on what these sites consist of, where they come from or how they got to be there. It simply classifies them in terms of the potential kilowatt power that might be generated at each site (Environment Agency 2010). The report acknowledges that not all the sites identified on the map will be adapted and utilised for hydropower generation.

  • Congleton Hydro- the Background and History Pja 08-2020
    Congleton Hydro- The Background and History What is the history behind hydroelectricity? The development that changed everything in Victorian times and provided a brand new power source was the generation of electricity – following on from Michael Faraday’s principles and theories in the early 19th Century and progressing through to the dynamo developed independently by both Sir Charles Wheatstone in the UK and Sam Varley in the United States. England was also the site of the first hydroelectric power machine in Northumberland, created by William Armstrong and used to provide electricity for a single lamp in 1878; still generating power at Cragside, a National Trust property open to visitors. (Interestingly there is a connection with Congleton Hydro as the electrical dynamo used was supplied by Sir William Siemens -Siemens Bros, Woolwich!!!!) In Niagara the first major step-in full-scale power production took place with the Schoelkopf Power Station that began pushing out electrical current just three years later. It caused a major surge in building and by the end of 1890 there were almost 200 power stations alone across North America (the US is still the world’s biggest producer of hydroelectric power). By the time we reach the 1940s, nearly 40% of power in the US was produced by hydroelectricity. Huge concrete monuments were built like the Hoover and Grand Coulee Dams. Hydroelectric power was often referred to as white coal, but its influence declined in later years as coal, oil and nuclear power became the technology of choice across the world. Hydroelectric Power in the UK With its mountainous terrain and high reservoirs, the UK is a great place for building hydroelectric power stations.

  • Ludlow Hydro Co-Operative Share Offer Document
    HARNESSING THE RIVER TEME FOR LUDLOW Ludlow Hydro Co-operative Share Offer Document February 2015 Ludlow Hydro Co-operative Limited Registered with the Financial Conduct Authority number 32086R February 2015 Dear Prospective members, The power of the Teme at Ludlow has been recognised throughout the ages and in the very name of Ludlow – hlud-hlaw: “a place on a hill by a loud river”. For our ancestors, water power was the main source of energy for their communities. There were many water mills in Ludlow carrying out the basic industries of their times. The mill at Ludford was a corn mill and was last in use in the 1940s. The pressing issues of climate change and energy security have prompted a new look at water power in the UK. In Ludlow we are fortunate that several of our weirs, including that at Ludford, have been refurbished under the guardianship of the Teme Weirs Trust, thus retaining their potential as a source of power. Ludlow Hydro Co-operative proposes to bring Ludford Mill back to life with a co-operatively owned hydro electric turbine. Our Archimedes Screw turbine will feed 30kW of electricity into the local grid – enough for a light bulb in every house in Ludlow. The scheme will be owned and run by local people like you – clean green electricity for Ludlow and a decent return on your investment. The cost of the turbine itself will be met through a co-operative share offer. We have already funded the development work to obtain planning permission and licences from the Environment Agency which were funded by a small pioneer share offer.
