Consent Granted for 98 MW/100 MWh Solar & Battery Storage Project in Scotland

Qair UK, operating through Green Switch Capital, has secured consent for the Rogerhill Solar and Battery Energy Storage System in South Lanarkshire.

Consent was granted by Scottish Ministers through the Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit on 30 July 2026. With a solar capacity of 98 MW, Rogerhill is understood to be the largest solar farm to receive planning consent in Scotland to date.

The project will combine large-scale solar generation with a 100 MW battery energy storage system, which will store electricity and release it when it is most valuable to the grid.

Located across approximately 136 hectares of non-prime agricultural land at Rogerhill Farm, near Blackwood and Kirkmuirhill, the project represents an important addition to Scotland’s growing renewable energy infrastructure.

Once operational, Rogerhill is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to meet the equivalent annual needs of approximately 28,675 homes and avoid more than 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
