In this centenary year of Orkney’s mains electricity, come along with friends and family to see the equipment and the people who operate it. The depot has a map of Orkney’s electricity network, plus activities and careers information. Everyone welcome.

Opened in 1951, it replaced the first power station on the site as part of a sweeping new vision for postwar Britain. The story of the two stations will be told on Monday in And in an Instant All Was Light. It will be followed by an account of the great hydro-electric developments of The Dam Builders.

Everyone welcome.

The opening of the power station has been made possible by the kind collaboration of SSE and its staff.
