Can that be profitable? Massive wheel, must take a shitload of electricity. Although normal locks in canals don't seem very cost effective neither.

"It takes just 22.5 kilowatts (30.2 hp) to power ten hydraulic motors, which consume just 1.5 kilowatt-hours (5.4 MJ) per half-turn, roughly the same as boiling eight kettles of water."
