ILI Group starts planning for 600 MW Corrievarkie pumped storage hydro project in Loch Ericht

ILI Group has begun the initial planning phase for the new 600 MW Corrievarkie Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH) project at Loch Ericht, Dalwhinnie, Highlands.

The project will create a new upper reservoir in the hills above Loch Ericht that will hold 22 million cubic meters of water when full.

The broader adoption of long-duration energy storage projects such as this is seen as essential to the further deployment of renewable energy projects and critical to meeting UK Climate commitments.
