Scottish survey of jobs for new hydro

http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/299322/0093327.pdf . This is exceptionally good news and the BHA is now mounting a drive to encourage more training to ensure we can supply as much equipment and services as possible from the UK to the development of this resource. Attached is our press statement.

The announcement was tempered somewhat by a joint statement from the Scottish energy and environment ministries – http://www.waterbriefing.org/scottish-parliament-stries-balance-between-hydropower-ad-enviro.html. It is clear that the environmental lobby is concerned about there being so much hydro potential, especially in the micro range. This makes it doubly important we educate not only new skills for the industry but also for the relevant agencies.
