The Tummel Hydro Electric Scheme is a hydroelectric power project located in the Scottish Highlands. It harnesses the energy of the River Tummel to generate electricity, contributing to renewable energy production in the region. The scheme consists of several dams and power stations, which work together to convert flowing water into electrical energy. Constructed in the mid-20th century, the Tummel scheme plays a significant role in Scotland's energy landscape. It is operated by Scottish and Southern Energy and helps to provide a sustainable power source while minimizing carbon emissions. The project also supports local ecosystems and recreational activities in the surrounding area.
