Abstract
Loch Mhòr in Scotland is the upper reservoir of the Foyers pumped storage hydro-electric scheme. The reservoir has operated below its storage capacity for some time. A project was initiated to develop options to increase the storage capacity and remove existing restrictions on the scheme due to leakage and seepage experienced at the main spillweir. The project evolved to include satisfying a measure to be taken in the interests of safety associated with the spillweir, which was issued under the Reservoirs (Scotland) Act 2011 – hereinafter referred to as the Act. As a nation the effort and work to achieve net zero is progressing. In the case of Loch Mhòr, the impact of the project on a national scale is small; however, it remains a step forward in achieving the net zero goal.
