Loch na Cathrach Pumped Storage
Loch na Cathrach Pumped Storage is a 500MW hydro scheme, first conceived in 2015 and granted consent by Scottish Government ministers in June 2021.
Located on a site around 14km south-west of Inverness, this development will harness the waters of Loch Ness, helping the deployment of more renewable power and reducing our carbon emissions. It will capture excess energy, and store it until needed, helping provide security of supply as Great Britain’s electricity network shifts away from fossil fuels.
