hydroelectric scheme

A hydroelectric scheme provides electricity for the residents of Knoydart.

The 280kW hydroelectric scheme is run by a community trust called Knoydart Renewables.

Of course not every community has the resources to set up its own hydroelectric scheme but Mr Atherley argues that the community trust model could be replicated in some other parts of the country.

Loggers and ranchers complained that valuable land was taken, and the couple were also criticized for successfully agitating to prevent a huge hydroelectric scheme.

Designed to direct water into a small hydroelectric scheme, the system flouts environmental regulations by leaving almost zero flow in the stream bed.
