Scope and Content View of Orrin Power Station on the southern shore of Loch Achonachie. The Orrin section of the Conon scheme harnesses the waters of the River Orrin above Loch Achonachie. Two dams separated by a small hill hold back the river to form Loch Orrin. From there water is diverted by tunnel and pipeline to Orrin Power Station on the southern shore of Loch Achonachie in Strathconon. This water can then be used again in the turbines of Torr Achilty Power Station. Orrin Power Station was commissioned in 1959 and has a capacity of 18 MWs.
