Stantec welcomes £100m boost for Coire Glas hydro scheme

Comment attributed to John Ord, UK&I Business Director, Energy, Stantec.

“Having worked closely with SSE on Coire Glas over the last ten years, we are delighted this potentially game-changing project continues to benefit from development support and funding. The latest IPCC report and UN Secretary General’s calls for climate action on all fronts underscore how critical this type of investment and action are.

“Coire Glas can be a truly transformative project that would more than double the UK’s ability to store energy over long periods, acting as a cornerstone for the UK’s renewable future.

“This has been a global effort from Stantec, bringing some of our world leading experts to SSE and providing a locally tailored solution.

“In a time when our energy sector needs to transition quickly away from fossil fuels and towards properly distributed renewable generation, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for marked progress in the UK.

“We are committed to working with SSE and projects around the world which show how we can use creativity and expertise to help tackle climate change and support better energy security.”
