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 ...

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 .
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. In the hills to the East a small mountain lake, Lochan Airigh ...
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.
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 politician Tom Johnston during his time as Secretary of State for Scotland, [2] championed the Hydro-electric Development (Scotland) Act 1943, which created the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board. [3] Johnston's vision was for a public body that could build hydro-electric stations throughout the Highlands.
