Cruachan Power Station, affectionately known as the ‘Hollow Mountain’, resides deep inside Ben Cruachan mountain in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Over the past 60 years, Cruachan has been keeping the lights on for hundreds of thousands of homes across the UK.
But Cruachan is more than just hydropower: it’s been an iconic part of the landscape and local community since 1965. Through the Drax Foundation and Community Fund, Cruachan supports a range of community and educational projects, from Scottish rainforest restoration to STEM learning.
At Drax, we’re proud to be working to build a future that’s positive for climate, nature and people.
