Wainstones Energy Limited has applied to the Environment Agency for a full licence to abstract water from the River Mersey at Carrington to support a proposed power station at Carrington, Trafford.
The application is to abstract water between 1 April and 31 March inclusive in each year as follows:
- 1,988 cubic metres an hour
- 47,711 cubic metres a day
- 12,455,212 cubic metres a year
