The Potential Sites of Hydropower Opportunity [Filtered] shows the location of opportunities for hydropower and the basic environmental sensitivity associated with exploiting them in England and Wales.

A total of 25,935 'barriers' are identified and assessed in this project. The term 'barriers' is used to describe sites with sufficient drop to provide a hydropower opportunity. They are mostly weirs, but could also be other man-made structures or natural features, such as waterfalls. The average maximum power generation capacity on a barrier was 45Kw, with a total potential capacity of 1178Mw.
