Hydropower Permits
Permits issued for Hydropower Generation sites. NRW assesses and licences hydropower schemes for the water they abstract and to protect the local and wider environment; this may require issuing one or a combination of Abstraction, Impoundment and Transfer licences dependant on the scheme/site. This dataset details the permits issued for new, varied or renewed hydropower schemes.
