- The Lanark Hydro Electric Scheme refers to two hydroelectric plants in the Clydesdale area of South Lanarkshire, Scotland. They take in water from the Falls of Clyde. The two plants are known as Bonnington Power Station which takes in water from just above Bonnington Linn in New Lanark, and Stonebyres Power Station which takes water from above Stonebyres Linn near Kirkfieldbank. Of the two stations that make up the Lanark hydro electric scheme, Bonnington is the larger and both stations combined have an output of 16 MW. The Lanark Hydro Electric Scheme is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom to produce a clean renewable energy, using water from the falls Clyde to power homes and meet the demand for electricity after World War I. Lanark Hydro Electric scheme does not use dams for water storage, since it takes its water from the waterfalls and uses it as a tilting head. The pipes are designed in a way to take the water and divert it to the two power stations located in Stonebyres and Bonnington. Together these create electricity for over 17,000 homes in the UK They are hoping to use the hydro electric scheme, along with other natural energy sources, to make 40% of the energy used in the UK by 2020. The Lanark hydro electric scheme was the first of its kind for Britain, on a large scale, it was a technical wonder, because it used energy from the River Clyde's flow to generate power for the electric company. The hydro electric scheme is now a great place to look, when trying to figure out sustainable energy, for the rest of the world. (en)
