How it started

History

During the 2008 financial crisis, ILI pivoted towards renewable energy, initially specialising in onshore wind development. The company secured planning consents for 96 wind projects out of 160 proposals, establishing itself as a key player in Scotland’s small and medium-scale wind energy sector.

The company's Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH) projects include:

Loch na Cathrach PSH Project (450 MW) – Originally known as "Red John", this project was sold to Statkraft in 2023, making it one of Europe’s largest energy storage transactions.

Balliemeanoch PSH Project (1.5 GW) – One of Europe’s largest proposed PSH projects, currently in the planning process.
