How much power is this project expected to produce?

"Under our plans, the scheme will generate enough electricity to
power 600 homes ..."

The largest Hydro scheme in England currently is Kielder, rated at a maximum
of 12 MW.

The extraction of water at Riding Mill from the Kielder dam outflow to feed
the Tyne/Tees/Derwent/Wiske takes an order of magnitude more power. Not a
vast saver until you consider Kielder electricity is 24/7 and usage at Riding
Mill is only in unusual circumstances.
