The power stations hold the distinction of being the first large-scale hydro-electric plants in the United Kingdom to be constructed to provide a public supply, rather than for industrial use. The Grampian scheme near Pitlochry was authorised two years earlier, in 1922, but construction did not start until 1928. [8]
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 ...
The Breadalbane Hydro-Electric Scheme is a hydroelectric scheme in the Breadalbane area of Perthshire, Scotland. It comprises seven power stations which generate 120MW of power from the dams around Loch Lyon, Loch Earn and Loch Tay. [1]
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. If built, it will double the UK's ability to store energy for long periods.
