Project Update 17/12/2025

Hi everyone,

Before we head into the Christmas break, I wanted to share a final update for 2025. 

Here’s what’s been achieved since our last update:

• Internal pipework painting is now complete.
• The second penstock has been delivered and installed into the west cell, and dry testing has been successfully carried out.
• In the New Year, we’ll gain entry into the east cell to complete the spindle and headstock, paving the way for commissioning works to proceed.

Thank you for your continued cooperation while we carry out these essential works at Fenham Service Reservoir. We’re excited to return in the New Year and keep the momentum going!

If you have any questions, please feel free to add a comment in the box below, and a member of the Project Team will be happy to respond.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
