River Faughan ‘Archimedes screw’ electric turbine plan rejected
A plan for a hydroelectric power generator on the River Faughan has been rejected.
The proposals were to build an “Archimedes screw” turbine off the Lower Ballyartan Road, about a mile or so outside the village of Claudy.
Eugene Burke, who said he had been trying to make the scheme a reality since 2011, said the rejection spells “frustration” for him, adding: “I don’t know what I would’ve done differently.”
