Major hydro power plant expansion put on hold

The operator of an underground power station at Scotland's "Hollow Mountain" has put on hold its plans for a major expansion of the site. Renewables developer Drax had proposed building a new hydro-electric facility next to its existing complex inside Ben Cruachan, near Dalmally in Argyll. But it said the costs of the project had risen and it would not be bidding for UK government support at this time. The company said the expansion could potentially go-ahead in the future, "subject to an appropriate balance of risk and return". The existing underground power station was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1965. At the time, it was the first large-scale reversible turbine storage energy project of its kind in the world. It is housed within a huge cavern dug out inside Ben Cruachan, which is nicknamed Hollow Mountain because of the project. Drax had proposed investing £500m in the construction project over seven years. Last year, it completed initial design and engineering work for a 600MW expansion of Cruachan. The company said: "Drax believes that the Cruachan II project is well aligned with the long-term system need for flexible generation and energy storage and, given its location, is well placed to support system constraints between Scotland and England." It added: "Drax remains committed to disciplined capital expenditure which seeks to balance the risk and return of individual projects against other uses of capital, to maximise value." Scenes for Star Wars series Andor were filmed at Cruachan. The makers of the show said the underground power station - and its 316m (1,037ft), 46m (15ft) long dam - had the look it had been aspiring to capture for an episode called The Eye. P roduction designer Luke Hull told BBC Scotland News in 2022: "If you look at the dam, it looks like Darth Vader's mask." More on this story Related internet links

In a recent conversation with Filmfare, Shruti Haasan replied to people asking her 'Which number boyfriend is this'. When asked if Shruti has any regrets in life, the actress told Filmfare, "I have hurt some people and I wish I didn't do that. Everything else, I have like zero regrets. I'm like, okay, I was a clown, it's fine. Just some people that were very valuable to me, I hurt them by mistake and I always now spend my time saying sorry for it." Asked about her relationships, breakups and heartbreaks, Shruti wished she 'wasn't so influenced' by her relationships. "We all have that one dangerous ex, apart from that, I do close the chapter with no regrets. That's why when people say, oh, which number boyfriend is this?

Of course, I'm human," admitted Shruti Haasan. Shruti said she has been 'loyal' and 'good' in relationships, and if she hasn't chosen, she didn't 'owe people answers'.

Infinite proves its enduring power with 15th anniversary concert

Five-hour-plus marathon show proves group's unwavering bond with fans Veteran boy band Infinite wrapped up its 15th debut anniversary tour with a grand finale, promising an even greater future with its fans. Infinite held encore performances Saturday and Sunday for its 15th debut anniversary concert at the Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, attended by 20,000 fans who, over the two days, braved the stormy weather to see Infinite onstage. After kicking off "Limited Edition" in Seoul last December, Infinite went on to perform 13 shows in eight cities including Taipei, Jakarta, Singapore and Yokohama, with the two encore concerts marking the grand finale. The venue erupted with cheers as the six members descended a giant staircase from the ceiling against a backdrop video resembling a grand palace. The concert opened with a string of tightly produced signature dance tracks — 'Last Romeo,' 'Paradise' and 'The Eye.' Reflecting their 15 years in the business, the members commanded the stage with confidence and ease. Like old friends, they joked with fans and dropped hints about upcoming performances, heightening the excitement. The encore concert featured the complete tracklist from the group's 8th EP "Like Infinite," released in March. From main track 'Dangerous,' which began with a violinist's live intro, to the sultry performance of 'Way You Are' and 'Umbrella,' featuring a laser show that looked like falling rain, each stage of the show revealed the group's diverse charms. True to the concert's title, 'Limited Edition,' there were also special, one-of-a-kind performances. Main vocalists Sungkyu and Woohyun delivered a rock-spirited duet of 'Beautiful,' while Sungyeol and Seongjong put their own spin on 'Delicious,' originally released in 2014 by Woohyun and SHINee's Key. L and Dongwoo performed a rock version of 'Wings,' a track from Infinite's debut album. The stage production stood out just as much as the members' flawless live vocals: A giant infinity symbol hung from the ceiling, changing colors with each performance. A massive mirror ball descended from the center of the ceiling for the electronic tracks 'Air' and 'Be Mine,' accompanied by a laser show. On the first night, the group performed for around four hours, and on the final night, Infinite set a record with a marathon 5 1/2-hour show. Even after multiple encores, Infinite found it hard to say goodbye to their fans. Holding back tears, Sungyeol said, 'We promise to come together again soon in some way. Until the day we meet again, please stay healthy and happy.' Dongwoo also expressed heartfelt gratitude and looked toward the future. 'We've had a six-year hiatus, military service breaks and more — but what helped us endure all of it was you. No matter the winds or waves, you stood strong with hearts as vast as the sea. We've made it to our 15th anniversary and we hope to go on to our 30th. We want you to be with us for that journey.'
