The reservoir has a catchment area of 23 square kilometres (8.9 sq mi), [3] and is capable of holding seven Gigawatt hours of energy. [4] The water level in the reservoir can fluctuate by as much as 10 metres (33 ft) a day due to the operation of the power station. [5]
The turbine hall is located inside Ben Cruachan, and the scheme moves water between Cruachan Reservoir and Loch Awe, a height difference of 396 m (1,299 ft). It is one of only four pumped storage power stations in the United Kingdom, and is capable of providing a black start capability to the National Grid .
Ben Cruachan (Scottish Gaelic: Cruachan Beann) [3] is a mountain that rises to 1,126 metres (3,694 ft), the highest in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

If built, the project will be the largest pumped-hydro scheme in Scotland, storing 45GWh of energy, equating to 30 hours of generation at the maximum capacity of 1.5GW. [2] Like the nearby Cruachan Power Station, the project would use the 40km long Loch Awe as the lower reservoir.
Despite the fact that some of the headwaters of the River Noe are captured to feed Cruachan Reservoir, RWE decided that there was still sufficient flow in the river to power a run-of-the-river hydro-electric station. Argyll and Bute Council authorised construction of the Glen Noe hydropower project in September 2016, and construction began in 2019.
Google Maps' location tracking is regarded by some as a threat to users' privacy, with Dylan Tweney of VentureBeat writing in August 2014 that "Google is probably logging your location, step by step, via Google Maps", and linked users to Google's location history map, which "lets you see the path you've traced for any given day that your ...
