Fearna Storage
About Us
Gilkes Energy Ltd (GEL) specializes in the development of hydro power projects in the UK. Over the last 14 years we have successfully developed and built 17 conventional hydro projects.
In 2018 we moved our focus from conventional small-scale hydro to much larger Pumped Storage Hydro ‘PSH’. This change in focus reflected the fact that the UK needs vast amounts of energy storage in order to balance the grid.
