There once was a water turbine producing electricity, but it is no longer in place. The mechanisms to control water flow and to remove objects from the water remain though and appear to be fully functional. It looks as though it will be a fairly simple process to install a new water turbine to provide complete autonomy in electricity and revenue from excess production, however this will have to be confirmed by a competent engineer.
