# Freeflow69 Ltd

Freeflow69 is a specialist micro hydro renewable energy company based in Fowey, Cornwall, with over a decade of experience designing, manufacturing and installing small-scale hydroelectric power systems. They serve private homeowners, commercial enterprises and small industrial operations seeking to harness water power for electricity generation.

The company specialises in bespoke water wheel solutions, primarily manufacturing traditional Overshot, Breastshot, Poncelet and Zuppinger water wheels alongside innovative Archimedes Screws. All stainless steel components are manufactured in the UK by their associate company, Able Engineering in the Midlands, ensuring quality and durability whilst supporting domestic production.

What distinguishes Freeflow69 is their comprehensive, hand-held approach. Rather than simply supplying equipment, they guide clients through every stage—from initial feasibility consultation through design, planning permission support, manufacture, on-site installation and system commissioning. They offer flexibility in delivery, providing components as flat-pack kits for customer assembly or fully assembled units ready for integration.

Their standard 2m diameter overshot wheel exemplifies their practical approach, delivering 3-1.7kW depending on available head and flow conditions, with a head range of 2.5m to 1.5m. Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel (1.4003), these wheels are engineered for longevity and require minimal maintenance. Importantly, their systems are fish-friendly, addressing environmental concerns whilst generating clean renewable energy.
