A Community Hydro
Glenachulish Hydro is owned by the community in the form of investors (members) of LEG Power Lochaber Limited – a community benefit society. Members receive a return on their investment through member share interest.
The surplus profits from the scheme help to ensure the sustainability of Lochaber Environmental Group and its environmental projects, with a small grant being offered to the communities of Lochaber. You can read about the impact of LEG Power's community benefit fund.
