TAP News January 2008

Project Update

Work is continuing on the action points required to achieve all the permissions and consents by Spring 2008.

Actual water flow remains a key element and regular measurements have been taken since 18th October. Following the heavy rain on the weekend of 16th November, and subsequent frequent rainfall, the flow rates have fluctuated between 300 litres per second and 700 litres per second. Peaking briefly at considerably more on a number of occasions.

The TAP team were invited to attend a Climate Change day at the University of Glamorgan on 1st December. The day was organised by the Welsh Assembly Government and attracted delegates from across South Wales. TAP was one of 18 organisations asked to set up a stand outlining their Project or field of interest, and was one of only 3 organisations invited to present their project to the assembled delegates. This was done to a packed auditorium, including Jane Davidson, Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing. The presentation was well received and the potential for duplicating the proposed scheme in other locations recognised. A letter of thanks and appreciation for the TAP contribution to the day has subsequently been received from Jane Davidson.

TAP now has a web site. It can be found at www.tapenergy.org
