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 biomas 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 ...

Lord Strathclyde stated that for Lussa, the capital cost of the project was £533 per kW, the highest of the 27 schemes mentioned, and considerably higher than the average cost of £175 per kW. The scheme was the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's Constructional Scheme No. 8 and No. 68. [14]
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.
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 ...
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. Because the location of the turbine house was not ...
Coire Glas power station is a proposed 1.3GW pumped storage hydroelectric power station in the Scottish Highlands. If built, it will double the UK's ability to store energy for long periods. [1] [2] [3]
The Lochaber hydroelectric scheme is a hydroelectric power generation project constructed in the Lochaber area of the western Scottish Highlands after the First World War. Like its predecessors at Kinlochleven and Foyers , it was designed to provide electricity for aluminium production, this time at Fort William .
