Green Highland Renewables is to start work this month on a new hydro scheme at Loch Eilde Mor, in the hills above Kinlochleven.
The £13.6 million project, which lies on the Rio Tinto estate, is fully funded by the hydro firm’s owners Ancala Renewables and is one of a number of projects the firm is looking to develop across the Highlands.
The Loch Eilde Mor project is set to be commissioned in summer 2017.
In the last four years, the company has constructed and commissioned 25 schemes totalling 17MW across the Highlands, investing £62 million.
