SSE Renewables has unveiled plans to convert its 152.5MW Sloy Power Station into a new pumped hydro storage facility.
The power station on the shores of Loch Lomond is Britain’s largest conventional hydro power plant.
Subject to final design, the converted Sloy scheme would be capable of delivering up to 25GWh of long-duration electricity storage capacity - enough to power around 90,000 homes for up to a week.
