This is a very small later station which is used to generate power on the required compensation flow to the river Errochty. The station is of a relatively late date and is of broadly standard design.

The Tummel hydro-electric power scheme is an interconnected network of dams, power stations, aqueducts and electric power transmission in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland.

The Trinafour Power Station was completed in 1959 and is part of the SSE Renewables Tummel Valley Hydro Scheme.

Located on the site of a former SSE-owned coal power station, SSE Renewables have a 150MW / 300MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project under development in the Fiddler's Ferry near Warrington, Cheshire.

Water is released from the dam to compensate the flow of the Errochty Water, this compensation water flows down a pipeline for 1.5 km to the very small 500 kW [3] hydro power station at Trinafour before being released into the Errochty Water.

Nov 16, 2006 · Small hydroelectric station in the village of Trinafour. The station receives water from Loch Errochty, approx 1 mile away. This is a recent addition to the Tummel-Garry hydroelectric scheme and unusually the water is supplied entirely by an above-ground pipeline from the dam at Errochty, discharging into Errochty Water.
