SSE is investing £100m into what could be Britain’s biggest pumped hydro storage scheme in 40 years.
Located on the shores of Loch Lochy, between Fort William and Inverness, the Coire Glas project is expected to require a capital investment of over £1.5bn to construct.
The project, which received planning consent from the Scottish Government in 2020, would also more than double Britain’s total current electricity storage capacity.
