The water reaches the power station by a system of tunnels and pipes the latter part of which is visible on the hillside above the power station Image Producing 44.1MW of electricity this power station is part of the Tummel Valley Scheme which consists of nine different power stations some of which 'share' water which flows from one reservoir to another.
