The scheme was the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's Constructional Scheme no.20, and the order to authorise it was laid before Parliament and signed on 8 March 1949. [14] The scheme was commissioned in 1955. [15] In early 1957, Lord Lucas of Chilworth asked questions in the House of Lords about the costs of Scottish hydro-electricity.
In 2002, the Renewables Obligation (Scotland) legislation was introduced. It was conceived as a way to promote the development of small-scale hydro-electric, wave power, tidal power, photovoltaics, wind power and biomass schemes, but by the time it came into force, the definition of small scale had been increased from 5 MW to 10 MW and then 20 MW, and existing hydro-electric stations that had ...
If built, the project will be one of the largest pumped-hydro schemes in Scotland, storing 37GWh of energy, equating to 20 hours of generation at the maximum capacity of 1.8GW. [1] The project is an extension to the Glen Garry hydroelectric scheme, which includes the reservoir Loch Quoich.
The project was proposed in 2007. [1] In January 2008, the report published by the Crown Estate found the project would be "economically and technically possible". [ 2 ] At the same year, Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission filed planning application and started public consultations.
Storr Lochs is a hydro-electric power station built on the Isle of Skye, Inner Hebrides, Scotland and commissioned in 1952. It was built by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board, and used water from Lochs Leathan and Fada, to provide the first general supply of electricity to the island.
The Shira Hydro-Electric Scheme is a project initiated by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board to use the waters of the River Shira, the River Fyne and other small streams to generate hydroelectricity. It is located between Loch Fyne and Loch Awe in Argyll and Bute, western Scotland. It consists of three power stations and three ...
As of July 2010, there were 100 operating wind farms in Scotland with a combined capacity of 8 GW; and a further 96 projects under construction or consented, with capacity of 2 GW. [1] A number of other power plants include experimental wave power and tidal power generators, and Steven's Croft near Lockerbie which is the UK's largest wood-fired ...
The Lanark Hydro Electric Scheme consists of two hydroelectric plants in the Clydesdale area of South Lanarkshire, Scotland. They are run-of-the-river power stations, using water from the River Clyde near to the Falls of Clyde .
