Welcome!

Osney Lock Hydro is the first community owned hydro scheme to be built on the Thames.   The hydro is now fully operational, generating clean green electricity.

You can find out more about the hydro by watching our introductory film, made by students from Oxford Brookes University during the end of the project build.
