KINLOCHLEVEN hydro station, owned ultimately by steel tycoon Sanjeev Gupta, has increased its production by 20 per cent. Simec said the output increase is part of a wider planned upgrade to the facility which will see overall capacity rise by up to 40% by the end of the year. Simec, part of Mr Gupta’s GFG Alliance, acquired the station in 2016, and the energy, infrastructure and natural resources business said the move “delivers a step up in clean energy”. The group has embarked on a programme to build or upgrade 12 hydro schemes in the Highlands by 2021.
