Hydro Ness recognised for Renewable Success

Early day motion 540, tabled 7 November 2022 by Drew Hendry (Scottish National Party). Signed by 7 members.

That this House congratulates Hydro Ness, the Highland Council’s new renewable energy installation on their recent success at the British Construction Industry Awards (BCIA 2022); notes that the Archimedes Screw installation on the banks of the River Ness in Inverness was named Small Project of the Year; recognises that the Hydro Ness uses the natural flow of the River Ness to generate electricity and incorporates a public viewing gallery and visitor attractions; further recognises that the power generated will supply the nearby Inverness Leisure Centre and provide approximately 50 per cent of its electricity needs each year; and commends the successful collaboration from all in achieving this project that will go some way in helping to achieve net zero ambitions.
