Inverlael Hydro Scheme

Global Construction played a key role as principal contractors on the project, carrying out the multi-million pound civil engineering work for Npower Renewables.

Construction work on the Inverlael Hydro Scheme began in March 2008 and was completed in May 2009. The 2.5 megawatt (MW) run-of-river development was built within an existing forestry plantation by in Wester Ross.

The hydro scheme utilises the waters of the Allt Mor and River Lael. An intake in each river passes water through two pipes which combine before entering the powerhouse. The water is then fed through twin turbines to generate up to 2.5MW of electricity before being returned to the watercourse.

The scheme is expected to produce enough electricity to supply the average annual needs of about 1500 homes.
