Tummel hydro-electric power scheme, Hydroelectric power network in Grampian Mountains, Scotland
The Tummel scheme encompasses nine power stations across 1,800 square kilometers, connecting Dalwhinnie, Rannoch Moor, and Pitlochry through dams and aqueducts.
The Grampian Electricity Supply Bill of 1922 enabled the utilization of waters from Loch Ericht, Loch Rannoch, and Loch Tummel for power generation.
The power stations, designed by Balfour Beatty and William Halcrow, represent significant architectural achievements and several received Category A listed building status.
Water flows through multiple power stations, starting from Loch Ericht through various lochs and reservoirs, generating electricity for central Scotland's power grid.
The Pitlochry Dam features a fish ladder allowing salmon to migrate upstream, making it both an industrial facility and environmental conservation site.
