Process
Working closely with each Estate, Bell Ingram negotiated terms with SSE to enable the Hydro scheme to be built and operated. These terms included the purchase of land for an underground power station and a 1km dam, a lease for the reservoir area and servitude rights for 8km of tunnels, 12km of pipelines, 25km of access road and 10 intakes. The terms negotiated covered compensation during construction, including loss of sporting, along with consideration for the rights required to install and operate all the infrastructure. Short term leases were also negotiated for a number of construction camps and laydown areas with the construction contractors.
