Work has started on a £3m hydroelectric project in northern Scotland with developers Green Highland Renewables confident that the scheme will come online in 2015. The 750kW scheme at Allt Choire a’ Bhalachain on the south side of Loch Garry is one of two projects in the area being developed by the Perth-based company on land managed by Forestry Commission Scotland (FCS). The other scheme, a 1.3MW development at Allt Ladaidh, will commence construction in early 2015. Green Highland Renewables was appointed by FCS in 2010 to develop a number of sites for hydroelectricity and has gained planning permission for three locations, with around 20 more prospective projects in the pipeline.
