A renewable energy company in Scotland is planning an innovative new pumped hydro - electric storage installation on the shore around Loch ##head . The storage plant would be capable of delivering up to 400MW of power for six months , generating as many as 400,000 homes . The technology would include reversible turbines that are capable of pumping water uphill from the lower reservoir , and then acting as generators when that water is released back down the hill . Intelligent Land Investments for the project would enable effective energy storage and the development would be tailored to match the surrounding lochs .
A renewable energy company in Scotland is planning an innovative new pumped hydro-electric storage installation on the shore around Loch Ness. The 2.4GWh plant would be capable of delivering up to 400MW of power for six hours, powering as many as 400,000 homes. The technology would use reversible turbines that are capable of pumping water uphill from the lower reservoir, and then acting as generators when that water is released back down the hill. Intelligent Land Investments says the project would enable effective energy storage and the development would be landscaped to match the surrounding lochs.
