Glendoe Won't Be Up and Running Until 2011, Oh Dear

Not the best news to start this site off with but anyway, some things can't be helped. Scottish and Southern Energy has announced that its Glendoe hydro electricity scheme will not be producing any power at all until 2011. This is due to repair needing done on the August rockfall which blocked one of the main tunnels providing water to one of the turbines. On a slightly more positive note SSE has announced that it will be seeking planning permission for two new hydro electric power schemes at Coire Glas (Loch Lochy) and Balmacaan at Loch Ness - the first of their kind in Britain since 1974. We look forward to all of these hydro schemes getting up and running ASAP.
