Plans revealed for Scotlands largest capacity hydro project
Energy giant SSE has revealed it is seeking to more than double the proposed capacity of a multi-million scheme in the Great Glen before construction even begins.SSE, whose heritage in hydro generation goes back to the 1940s, was granted planning approval in 2013 for a 600MW pumped storage scheme at Coire Glas, north-west of Loch Lochy.However, to maximise the potential of this site, SSE has submitted an application to the Scottish Government for consent to construct the development at an increased capacity of 1500MW.The firm said there would be little change to the current external elements of the project, with the majority of changes being in the underground space required to house the larger turbines.
