Officially opened in 2018, the hydro scheme is located in Arrochar, on Luss Estates’ land, in  Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.   The build cost was £660K and funds were raised through a community share offer.

The 100kWp run of river hydro scheme is located on the Achlais Burn, near Milton of Buchanan on the east side of Loch Lomond, in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The project consists of a single intake, penstock, powerhouse and tailrace and takes water from the Achlais Burn and returns it to the same watercourse just above the public road bridge over this burn at the B837.

Highland Community Energy Society owns a stake in six hydro projects at numerous sites in the Highlands of Scotland.  The latest community share offer raised £1.35 million to claim a stake in four of these sites.

Kinlochbervie Community Energy Limited is a 200kW hydro scheme constructed near Rhiconich, Kinlochbervie. A public share offer was launched in early 2021 and successfully raised the target of £707,000.

LEG Power Lochaber have constructed a 100% community owned 547kW hydro scheme on land owned by Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) at Glenachulish in Lochaber.  This was funded by a £1,880,000 public share offer raised in August 2021.

Following 5 years of research, Rainepower was created as a community benefit society in 2015 by K-SET with the help of Energy4All.  After raising funds via a share offer the installation of a 35kW Archimedean screw turbine in the River Lune was completed.

Located near the small village of Rumbling Bridge, Kinross Scotland, the hydro turbines began generating clean, green electricity in September 2016. Soon after, the Society were ‘Highly Commended’ in the Rushlight Awards 2017.

The co-operative has operated a wood chip fuelled district heating system on the Springbok Estate near Alfold, Surrey since June 2015.  Prior to installation of the biomass system the heating was supplied by approximately 20 oil boilers, some of which were quite old and inefficient.
