- Strengthening the long-term commitment to small-scale hydropower
- Active contribution to the achievement of the “Koehler Promise 2030”
Koehler Renewable Energy has expanded its Scottish hydropower portfolio with the acquisition of the Allt Mor plant in Kinloch Rannoch, Perthshire. The purchase was completed through the company’s UK subsidiary and underscores the ongoing investments in small-scale hydropower as part of the group’s broader renewable energy strategy.
Established run-of-river plant with strong local roots
Allt Mor has been generating renewable electricity since 2015, when it was developed as a joint venture between the Dunalastair Estate and Allt Mor Hydro Ltd. Originally commissioned at 330 kW, the run-of-river plant was later upgraded to a feed-in capacity of 350 kW and now produces around 1.1 GWh of electricity annually. The plant is well-established in the region: the site is well known locally for its glass-fronted powerhouse, visible turbines and an information screen displaying real-time power generation data, lifetime output, CO₂ savings and electric vehicle charging station usage.
Nicolas Christoph, Head of Wind, Solar, Hydro and Business Development at Koehler Renewable Energy, commented: “With the acquisition of Allt Mor, we are further expanding our hydropower activities in Scotland. Projects like this demonstrate how reliable renewable generation can be successfully paired with strong local engagement. The plant fits very well with our long-term strategy to invest selectively in well-established and future-oriented renewable energy solutions.”
Contribution to the sustainability strategy and the “Koehler Promise 2030”
With the integration of Allt Mor, Koehler Renewable Energy now operates a portfolio of eight run-of-river hydropower plants in the UK, all located across Scotland, with a combined maximum feed-in capacity of 4.12 MW. The acquisition supports the company’s long-term ambition of expanding renewable energy generation across multiple technologies. It also contributes to the “Koehler Promise 2030,” under which the company aims to generate more renewable energy from its own plants than it consumes in paper production by 2030.
Alan Mathewson, Director Koehler Renewable Energy in the UK, explains: “The Allt Mor plant is a well-established regional project, and very important within the local community. Our team looks forward to meeting and speaking with residents, learning about their views and ensuring a smooth transition in ownership. Small-scale hydropower continues to be a core part of our work in Scotland, and Allt Mor is a strong addition to our long-term investment in this sector.”
