Demonstration sites are pilot scale deployments of new technology which serve as a place for interaction and learning and to expand the possibilities of early-adoption by end-users. A fundamental deliverable of the Dwr Uisce project is to develop four demonstration sites, two micro-hydropower installations and two drain water heat recovery systems, to demonstrate energy recovery using both technologies in Ireland and Wales.

Micro-hydropower Site 1:
Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant in Northern Wales

This demonstration site is now operational, and the official opening day took place on 21/11/19.

Micro-hydropower Site 2:
Blackstairs GWS in Ireland

This demonstration site is now operational, and the official opening day took place on 2/5/19.

Drain Water Heat Recovery Site 1:
Penrhyn Castle in Northern Wales

This National Trust demonstration site at Penrhyn Castle in Wales is currently built and operational.

Drain Water Heat Recovery Site 2:  
ABP Foods in Ireland

The ABP Foods demonstration site in Cahir (ireland) is currently installed.
