ByDavid McPhee
Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI) said yesterday it had provided £43million of infrastructure funding for six Highland hydro-electric schemes.
The developments benefiting from ASI’s investment on behalf of three clients are: Strathan, Loch an Laoigh and Uisge Dubh in Strathcarron, Wester Ross; Pattack, just north of Laggan; Kendrum Burn at Lochearnhead and Ben Glas, on the Glenfalloch Estate at the north end of Loch Lomond.
They were built by Cumbria-based renewables developer Gilkes Energy and associated company Gilkes Hydro Investments (GHI) which operates a further 17 green-energy schemes around Scotland.
