Solway Energy Gateway Ltd (SEGL)

We are Cumbrian based company committed to providing energy from tidal and hydro, and other renewable sources, by the development of technology within Cumbria and South West Scotland, and the setting up of Community Interest Companies to maximise local benefit.

The flagship project is a tide driven scheme between Annan and Bowness with a capacity of 200MW online by 2020.

There are also a number of river (hydro) schemes in the planning primarily in Cumbria. These schemes are all due online over the next 5 years and range in capacity from 5kw to 900kw. All schemes make use of VerdErg SMEC © technology being developed, piloted in Cumbria and promoted jointly by VerdErg and SEGL.

SMEC based schemes are designed to have the lowest local environmental impact, with the Community Interest Companies generating the best local economic impact at the same time providing the greatest influence nationally and globally.
