There are several proposals for new pumped storage hydro-electric schemes in Scotland, mostly in the Great Glen; The 600 MW Coire Glas scheme is being developed by SSE above the northwestern shores of Loch Lochy .
If built, the project will be one of the largest pumped-hydro schemes in Scotland, storing 37GWh of energy, equating to 20 hours of generation at the maximum capacity of 1.8GW. [1] The project is an extension to the Glen Garry hydroelectric scheme, which includes the reservoir Loch Quoich.
The Cruachan Power Station (also known as the Cruachan Dam) is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, UK. The scheme can provide 440 MW of power and produced 705 GWh in 2009.
Coire Glas power station is a proposed 1.3GW pumped storage hydroelectric power station in the Scottish Highlands. If built, it will double the UK's ability to store energy for long periods. [1] [2] [3]
Balliemeanoch Pumped Storage Hydro is a proposed pumped storage hydro (PSH) scheme in the Scottish Highlands. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] If built, the project will be the largest pumped-hydro scheme in Scotland, storing 45GWh of energy, equating to 30 hours of generation at the maximum capacity of 1.5GW.
The following page lists all pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations that are larger than 1,000 MW in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW , and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional ...

The Shira Hydro-Electric Scheme, completed in 1957, and situated immediately to the west of the Sloy scheme, included Sron Mor power station, which was the first major implementation of pumped storage in Britain. Although it was a fairly small-scale station, the Board were keen that operational data for it should be collected, in view of its ...
