Hydropower
We support the development of hydropower in Scotland, while aiming to strike an appropriate balance between these schemes and protecting the water environment and its users.
Hydropower developments in Scotland are regulated by the Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 more commonly known as CAR regulations – and their amendments.
If you are developing a
Protected areas and species
This section outlines the information that applicants are required to provide in relation to the impact the proposed scheme will have on areas designated as a Special Area of Conservation or other designated sites, and on protected species that are particularly vulnerable to hydro power development. Information can be found on the following:

2019 assessment summary
Scottish business environmental compliance was over 90% for the fifth year in a row in the latest data recovered and published following the cyber-attack on SEPA in December 2020.
In 2019, we assessed 4,924 environmental authorisations and 91% of Scottish regulated business sites were assessed as compliant ('Excellent’, ‘Good’ or ‘Broadly Compliant’). 78.2% of Scottish regu

ESOS Phase 3 Compliance Deadline has been extended to 5 June 2024Notes on ESOS Phase 3 compliance and deadline extension
The Energy Saving Opportunities Scheme (ESOS) is a mandatory energy assessment scheme for organisations in the United Kingdom that are regarded as a ‘large undertaking’.
The scheme was established to implement Article 8(4, 5 and 6) of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/
Forestry
A significant amount of land in Scotland is used for forestry purposes. We are responsible for ensuring that forest developments are designed to consider and, where possible, benefit the environment. We do this by overseeing various types of regulation and producing guidance and advice for those working in or involved with the forestry industry.

FAQs on Sea Lice Regulatory Framework Implementation
Why is a sea lice framework needed?
Populations of wild Atlantic salmon have been in serious decline in recent decades and are now at crisis point. The pattern of decline is repeated across the salmon’s North Atlantic range and is likely caused, at least in part, by the effect of climate change on the survival of salmon during their time at sea.

Modelling
Marine aquaculture modelling
Computer modelling is used as a guide to determining licensed discharge quantities of anti-parasitic chemicals and organic waste arising from marine fish-farm operations.
The modelling tools promoted by SEPA provide robust predictions in most cases, requiring relatively little site-specific information. Nevertheless, the quality of the model outputs is dependent upon g
