First Hydro Company (FHC), a joint venture (JV) 75%-owned by ENGIE, is preparing major refurbishments at the 1,728MW Dinorwig pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) facility.

Generator Drax has announced that it will not bid its Cruachan II pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) project into the long duration energy storage (LDES) support mechanism.

Exploratory tunnelling for SSE Renewables’ Coire Glas project, the UK’s first large-scale pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) scheme to be developed in 40 years, has been completed.

ILI Group has revealed it has lodged a planning application with the Scottish government for a 1.5GW pumped hydro energy storage project.

Drax has appointed global technology and engineering firm Voith Hydro to move its plans forward for its proposed 600MW underground pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) project in Scotland.

President of the IHA Malcolm Turnbull has said that the UK has “almost 7GW of shovel-ready pumped storage hydropower projects with over 135GWh storage capacity”.

Government has launched its consultation on its proposals for kickstarting investment into long-duration energy storage (LDES), which includes a cap-and-floor mechanism and excluding lithium-ion from being eligible.

SSE Renewables has confirmed it will hold a public consultation in Arrochar on its proposed redevelopment plans for Sloy Power Station.

SSE Renewables has unveiled plans to convert Britain’s “largest conventional hydro power plant” into a new pumped hydro storage facility.
