Plan to extend part of Loch Ness hydro power site

Foyers is a pumped storage scheme.

It takes water from Loch Mhor in the hills above Loch Ness to drive two turbines to generate electricity at times of high demand.

Surplus electricity, usually supplied by wind farms and available at quieter times of power usage, is used to pump water from Loch Ness back up hill to refill Loch Mhor.

An £8m revamp in 2013 extended the life of the Foyers hydro scheme by several decades.

Electricity has been generated in the area since 1896 when power was needed to supply an aluminium smelter, which was shut down in 1971.
