PHES provided 0.2% or 2TWh, by comparison.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest pumped hydro-electric project currently approved is SSE Renewables\u2019 \u00a31.5bn and 1.5GW Coire Glas at Loch Lochy in the Great Glen in the Scottish Highlands.<\/p>\n<h3>GEE&#8217;s claims about the Loch Ness pumped hydro project include:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Using &#8220;water more efficiently than any existing or proposed pumped storage project in the UK\u201d<\/li>\n<li>That it would be \u201cbigger than any other proposal or existing facility on Loch Ness in terms of size and power generation capacity\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The project would \u201creduce the carbon footprint of the energy grid by 10% and save \u00a32bn in electricity grid running costs\u201d<\/li>\n<li>That the project would create a minimum of 600 onsite jobs, \u201cplus many thousands more locally in the supply chain\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The water use efficiency claim comes from the 480m height difference between the proposed upper and lower reservoirs, which would maximise power generation while minimising impact on the Loch Ness water levels.<\/p>\n<h3>Securing Scotland&#8217;s energy security<\/h3>\n<p>GEE director Roderick MacLeod said: \u201cScotland is a leader in wind power, but the wind doesn\u2019t always blow when we need the energy most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s when pumped storage hydro comes in. It is like a giant water battery, storing excess wind power when it\u2019s plentiful and releasing it when the wind dies down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInternational experts have identified Glen Earrach Energy\u2019s pumped storage hydro project as the most efficient in the UK, possibly even Europe. It will be needed to help Britain get to net zero.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe deeply care about the Balmacaan Estate and are committed to engaging with the local community, businesses, and government. We\u2019re actively seeking their views on how to maximise the project\u2019s positive impact on the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlobally, pumped storage has relied on government support. The UK government&#8217;s proposed income floor is a step in the right direction, which Glen Earrach Energy supports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe the government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/uks-green-energy-revolution-stalled-billions-projects-stuck-queue\/130342\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">should prioritise projects<\/a> proven to be the most efficient, cost-effective and sustainable, rather than those with planning [permission]. That way they should be self-financing and in theory never have to draw on government support\u201d.<\/p>\n<div
