How big is Cuileig Hydro Scheme?

Cuileig Hydro Scheme has a recorded installed capacity of 3.3 MW. That figure is the capacity registered in REPD, which is the scheme as consented — the metered output of a site can differ.

Who operates Cuileig Hydro Scheme?

REPD records the operator as Scottish Hydro-Electric plc. Ownership of built renewable assets changes hands regularly and REPD is published quarterly, so treat this as the operator of record rather than confirmation of who owns it today.

When was Cuileig Hydro Scheme approved and built?

The application was submitted on 9 October 1998. Permission was granted on 1 March 2000, 17 months later. The site became operational on 15 February 2002, 24 months after consent.

Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0, plus planning designation boundaries from planning.data.gov.uk (England only). REPD is published quarterly and covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above. Capacity is the installed capacity on record, not metered generation. Operator is the operator of record at the last extract, not confirmation of present ownership. Reference 434.
