Hydro power is a commercial technology, long established
in Scotland, which accounts for a significant proportion of
our existing renewable output. It contributes around 10%
to Scotland's total current energy generation. Most output
is produced by large scale hydro schemes. There are,
however, an increasing number of proposals for small run of
river hydro projects and these projects, together with the
continuing refurbishment of the large hydro schemes will
ensure that hydro will continue to play its part in
Scotland's renewable energy mix.
