Kinlochleven Power Station
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the news that Kinlochleven power station, a hydro station that sources from the Blackwater reservoir on Rannoch Moor, and which is Britain’s oldest hydro station of its kind, has increased its output by 20%; notes that it recently generated an average of 23.27MW of electricity, which is sufficient to light and heat the homes of the city of Inverness; congratulates the operator, Simec Energy, on its investment in reinstating defunct side-stream intakes and improving water collection for the scheme, which has facilitated the higher level of electricity generation, and is encouraged by this increased output of green energy that the station is making to meet the nation’s energy needs.
