Art deco hydro power station at Tongland looking ‘good as new’

Ian Kinnaird, Drax’s FlexGen assets director, said: “The Galloway Hydro Scheme has been generating flexible, renewable electricity for 90 years, and this major refurbishment means it will continue to do so for many more years to come.

“This was a complex project, with great care taken by Drax and our contracting partners to protect this historic building during the work.

“Tongland has been part of Scotland’s energy story for almost a century, so everyone involved should feel incredibly proud to see it looking as good as new.”

The completion of Tongland’s external refurbishment is part of a wider investment by Drax which includes installing about 1,500 solar panels across its Galloway and Lanark hydro schemes.
