Update for Country Focus 31st May 2009
How green is my valley?
Tapping into the rain and water we have in Wales with hydro electric schemes and generating electricity.
Country Focus - Sunday 31st May at 07.30am and repeated Tuesday evening at 9.30pm... presented by Iolo ap Dafydd.
The streams and rivers in the Brecon Beacons National Park are being looked at with fresh eyes by local farmers and landowners. The interest now is for their potential for hydro electric schemes in Wales. Nearly a hundred micro electric schemes have been identified and the Green Valley's initiative is aiming to increase the output of the energy of this area and reduce Carbon emissions - putting a whole new turbo spin on How Green is My Valley!
Iolo ap Dafydd looks at the community projects, private and future schemes and their spin offs - such as electric bikes.
