SSE Renewables unveiled ambitious plans on Monday (22 May) to transform what it hails as Britain’s largest conventional hydro power plant into a pumped hydro storage facility.
The energy provider disclosed its intentions to convert the 152.5MW Sloy hydroelectric power station, nestled on the banks of Loch Lomond in Argyll and Bute, central Scotland, into a pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) system.
