Planning permission secured for 1.5 GW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Scotland
Alcemi announced that it has obtained planning permission for the construction of 1.5 GW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Scotland. The permission granted by the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit.
The two projects include the 1 GW/2 GWh Rawhills Energy Storage facility in Coalburn, south of Glasgow, and the 500 MW/1,000 MWh Devilla Energy Storage site in Fife, north of Edinburgh. Alcemi in partnership with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) will develop the projects.
The BESS facilities will support the transmission system by limiting network constraints and further enabling the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid. Later this year, CIP is anticipated to make a final investment decision for the two BESS projects, and construction is scheduled to begin shortly after.
