Dulas has started construction of two medium-scale run-of-river hydro schemes in central Scotland totalling 1.3MW.
The company said each scheme is the second one for existing clients.
Dulas said that, while large-scale projects continue to be announced, at the smaller end of the scale, cuts to subsidies have threatened the progress of the small to medium hydro sector.
“In this uncertain environment, where developers are no longer able to lock in financial incentives for planned projects, it is increasingly important to maximise the speed and efficiency of the planning process in the short-term, as well as the long-term performance of projects themselves,” the company said.
