Loch Mhor is used to generate hydro-electric energy at peak demand or in an emergency. Peak demand on an electrical grid is the highest electrical power demand that has occurred over a specified time period (Gönen 2008). Peak demand is typically characterized as annual, daily or seasonal and has the unit of power. [1]
