Project information

Run of river schemes do not require a dam or store any water, instead they use only the instantaneous natural water available in a river so flow patterns downstream of a generating station are unchanged. (More detailed description of a run of river scheme can be found in more information).

The infrastructure required for the proposed scheme is a small intake structure located on the River Isla upstream of Bridge of Craigisla and a generating station (incorporating a sub station) located in a relatively secluded area of agricultural land 10km downstream of the intake.
