According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided an electricity generating arrangement comprising at least one secondary water conduit fitted to a primary water conduit, the secondary water conduit defining an inlet for allowing water flowing through the primary water conduit to enter the secondary water conduit and an outlet for allowing water flowing through the secondary water conduit to exit the secondary water conduit so as to rejoin the primary water conduit. The arrangement further comprises at least one rotatable turbine located within the secondary water conduit, each turbine being connectable to a generator so that under the influence of the water flowing through the secondary water conduit, the turbine can rotate so as to drive the generator to generate electricity. In an example embodiment, an inlet valve is located within the secondary water conduit, adjacent the inlet, and an outlet valve is located within the secondary water conduit, adjacent the outlet. |
