Lussa Hydro-Electric Scheme is a small-scale hydro-electric power station, built by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board and commissioned in 1956. It is located near Peninver on the Kintyre peninsula, part of Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It was originally designed to supply power to Campbeltown, but is now connected to the National Grid.
