Why Choose TLS Renewable Consulting?
TLS Renewable Consulting is the engineering and consultancy business of TLS Energy Group operating from offices in Malton (Yorkshire), Glenfinnan (Highlands) and Rickmansworth (London). Our growing team of experienced engineering specialists operates nationwide to fulfil maintenance contracts with new and legacy clients and to take on new consultancy work and engineering projects at all scales of micro- and small hydropower.
While hydro is our specialism, our experience in systems integration has positioned us to explore new business working with local networks, battery storage, EV charging, solar PV and wind turbine operation.
TLS Energy Group owns and operates 10 hydroelectric power stations and 2 wind turbines with a combined capacity of over 6MW across the UK. These are among the large portfolio of projects for which TLS Renewable Consulting now provides technical services, allowing us to invest in the trained engineers and specialist equipment required to offer the best possible service to our customers.
TLS Energy’s long-standing expertise in the energy trading market includes negotiating the best rates for selling the energy generated.
The MannPower brand is now owned by the TLS Energy Group
It was MannPower who first introduced the Archimedean Screw turbine to the UK in 2004 and went on to install more of these turbines than any other single consultancy.
As part of the TLS group, our engineering team continues to maintain many of those screw schemes under annual contract for satisfied clients. We have built on our established expertise by diversifying into high-head as well as alternative low-head technologies. Our engineers have accumulated experience and expertise designing and delivering low-head hydropower solutions from modest 1kW schemes through to huge systems generating hundreds of kilowatts.
To get a clearer idea of what this scale difference means in practical terms, take a look at the wide range of our case studies – screw turbines and waterwheels installed and generating all across the UK.
