Need to find out more about this - a new pumped hydro (with wind farm attached) scheme in Scotland planned.

210MW/ 1600MWh capacity.

Wonder when it'll get built?

They take quite some time to build, 10 years is the average in alps I think.

Maybe the location is preferable.

That's excellent news. I think I'll buy a few shares to be a part of this in some small way.

Found this article from earlier in the year which suggests it needs to be generating by 2027 or its planning permission expires

Reading that article, the start is a little vague, it could be read as site development needs to start by 2027 rather than generating needs to start.
