About Corin Hughes Limited..
Corin Hughes Limited was established in 2011 with a mission to build renewable energy systems. We commissioned our first hydro system at Clock Mill in 2012, which was quickly followed by further installations at Arrow Mills and Derwydd. Our fourth hydro installation at Valley Cottage was completed in 2015 and our fifth at Corwen in 2016. Corwen was our first community owned project. Around 90 shareholders, many of them local, raised £300,000 to build the scheme.
We are now developing a number of large, community and privately funded solar PV and battery projects. Click on the photos with yellow and orange banners on our homepage for more information.
We also work on wind turbine projects.
We are a small, capable company with a track record of delivering successful projects. We are professional, flexible and responsive. Most of our clients find us by word of mouth, which is testament to our excellent work.
We can manage your project from feasibility to installation and beyond, whatever your requirements. Our clients range from householders and farmers to businesses and government agencies. No matter with whom we are dealing, our approach remains the same: we listen to our clients, adapt to their needs and keep them well informed througout the process.
