From the car park at Asda, across King George's Way; see also http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=73449998 . The building is powered by a hydropower generator using water from the River Avon. " To produce enough energy to power the centre the generator must create 750,000KW hours a year, which is its estimated output. This is done by two 15 tonne turbines converting 20 tonnes of water into power as it falls down a 2.4 metre head in the river" http://www.eveshamjournal.co.uk/news/11513765.Celebrations_as_ground_breaking_project_meets_green_target/ .
