Part of the Mendip Power Group, the mill was restored to power in April 2007 using a German made 55kW vertically mounted Kaplan turbine, which is expected to produce on average 270 kilowatt-hours (970 MJ) per year. The turbine replaced a 6 kilowatts (8.0 hp) Francis turbine built in 1895.
Tellisford Mill is also home to a photographic studio.
