List of power stations in Scotland#Pumped-storage hydro-electric
{{Short description|None}}
{{use dmy dates|date=January 2021}}
This list of power stations in Scotland includes current and former electricity-generating power stations in Scotland, sorted by type. Scotland is a net exporter of electricity and has a generating capacity of over 10 GW. None of this is generated by conventional oil- or gas-burning power stations. Instead there is one large gas turbine power station and one large nuclear power station, as well as several hydro-electric schemes, predominantly in the Highlands, comprising over 80 generating stations with a combined capacity of 1.4 GW. Scotland also has an increasing number of wind farms, due to the large proportion of upland areas. As of July 2010, there were 100 operating wind farms in Scotland with a combined capacity of 8 GW; and a further 96 projects under construction or consented, with capacity of 2 GW.{{cite web |url=http://www.bwea.com/statistics/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060215094810/http://www.bwea.com/statistics/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2006-02-15 |title=UKWED Statistics |publisher=RenewableUK |access-date=2010-08-02 }} A number of other power plants include experimental wave power and tidal power generators, and Steven's Croft near Lockerbie which is the UK's largest wood-fired biomass power station.{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/south_of_scotland/7303483.stm |title=Green power station site opened |publisher=BBC News |date=19 March 2008 |access-date=2008-06-27}} Since 2016, no coal fired power stations operate in Scotland.{{cite web| url = http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/03/24/3763158/scotland-closes-last-coal-plant/| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160327114207/http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/03/24/3763158/scotland-closes-last-coal-plant| archive-date = 2016-03-27| title = After 115 Years, Scotland Is Coal-Free {{!}} ThinkProgress| website = ThinkProgress}}

Hydro-electric
{{details|Hydroelectricity in the United Kingdom}}
=Pumped-storage hydro-electric=
Hydroelectricity relies on gravity to propel water through power-generating turbines. The difference in height between the turbine and the water source is known as the "head". Scotland has two pumped-storage hydro-electric power stations, which pump water back up to a storage reservoir during periods of off-peak demand. Although claimed to be the first such station in the world when it opened in 1965 by the Visit Cruachan website, Drax Group PLC's Cruachan Power Station{{cite web |title=Cruachan, the Hollow Mountain: History |url=http://www.visitcruachan.co.uk/about/history.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071028132707/http://www.visitcruachan.co.uk/about/history.asp |archive-date=2007-10-28 |access-date=2008-07-29}} was preceded by the Ffestiniog Power Station in North Wales, which opened in 1963,{{Cite web |url=https://www.electricmountain.co.uk/Ffestiniog-Power-Station |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905172128/https://www.electricmountain.co.uk/Ffestiniog-Power-Station |archive-date=5 September 2015 |title=Ffestiniog Power Station |website=Mynydd Gwefru – Electric Mountain |publisher=First Hydro |place=Llanberis}} and on a smaller scale by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board's Sron Mor power station opened in 1957, part of the Shira Hydro-Electric Scheme.{{sfn |Payne |1988 |p=100}} Cruachan can hold {{convert|7|GWh}} of energy, equivalent to 22 hours of full production. 12 hours is reserved for black start.{{cite web|url=http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem.asp?id=1006 |title=Cruachan Hydroelectric Scheme |publisher=engineering-timelines.com |access-date=26 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140426153739/http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem.asp?id=1006 |archive-date=26 April 2014 }}
There are several proposals for new pumped storage hydro-electric schemes in Scotland, mostly in the Great Glen;

Several of Scotland's hydro-electric plants were built to power the aluminium smelting industry, but many more were built in the mid-20th century by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board to supply the communities of the Highlands. These were built in several "schemes" of linked stations, each covering a catchment area, whereby the same water may generate power several times as it descends.
