Koehler Gruppe, which is based in Baden Württemberg, Germany, is taking four run-of-river power plants in operation in Scotland. The group’s subsidiary, Koehler Renewable Energy is working in collaboration with developer Vento Ludens Ltd to implement these projects. Situated in the Scottish highlands the run-of-river power plants are part of a portfolio of six facilities. Energy production at the first one of the new plants was initiated in December 2020. “Scotland’s humid climate and mountainous landscape provide ideal conditions for ­hydropower projects. With their long lifecycles, these projects are a perfect fit for the long-term strategy of family-owned businesses like Koehler and Vento Ludens,” says Nicolas Christoph, Head of Business Development at Koehler Renewable Energy. The four run-of-river ­power plants in the Highlands of Scotland generate enough power to supply more than 2800 average British households.
