Glendoe Hydro Scheme

Welcome to Glendoe Hydro Scheme’s online home, where you can read, watch and hear all about this flagship energy production project, run by Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE).

SSE is a Scottish company which has its headquarters in Perth and is one of the largest energy companies in the UK. It is involved in the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity; energy trading; storage and supply of gas; electrical and utility contracting; and telecoms. However, its heart is in the Highlands, where it began life as the North of Scotland Hydro Electric Board in 1943.

SSE is continuing to build on its hydro heritage by constructing the first large-scale conventional hydro electric station to be built in Scotland for almost 50 years, alongside Loch Ness, at Glendoe.

The key aim in the development of Glendoe Hydro Scheme is that it is
sustainable: central to that is the long-term involvement of the community. We look forward to working with local people and organisations to ensure the safe and successful completion of Glendoe, a flagship project which will keep the Highlands of Scotland at the leading edge of renewable energy in the UK, and beyond.
