This is a small station containing a single vertically orientated undershot turbine making use of the headwaters of the Spey for generation before discharging into Loch Ericht. This small station is of relatively standard design, with integrated transformer station to the rear providing a connection to the grid. The design of the station has elements of vernacular style, including a pitched roof and is sheltered by a band of trees to ensure that it fits in with a remote upland location.
