Pattack Hydro scheme :: NN5486

In 2016 construction began on a 9MW hydroelectric scheme on the River Pattack in the Ardverikie Estate, Laggan. A dam will create a reservoir from which a buried pipeline will take water down to a powerhouse on the shore of Loch Laggan. The dam top is at 406m above Ordnance datum, limiting the reservoir extent to about 500m upstream.
