WHY IS BATTERY STORAGE IMPORTANT

  • Scotland is aiming to achieve net-zero by 2045.
  • Intermittent renewable energy generation means that we still have to rely on fossil fuel generation.
  • Battery Projects let us store excess renewables energy until it is needed – plugging the gap.
  • By 2050, according to National Grid ESO, we may require up to 40 GW of energy storage.
  • New energy storage capacity is encouraged by the Scottish Energy Strategy 2018 in order to hasten the adoption of storage innovation and deployment across Scotland.

LOCATION

  • The location is next to the main Abernethy Grid Supply Point.
  • There is available grid capacity at this location.
  • There are very few suitable locations in Scotland such as this.
  • This location minimises the amount of connection infrastructure required which is better for the environment and means lower embodied carbon emissions.
  • The application site is located on land at Jamesfield Farm and adjacent to Abernethy Road, to the south-east of Perth.
  • The proposed site is approximately 1 hectare (the size of a football pitch) in size and currently consists of low-quality agricultural land.

SITE ELEVATIONS

  • Containerised battery storage facility (13 x containers) with up to 49.9MW of energy storage.
  •  Circa 6-meter-long containers at a height of approx. 2.5 meters.

SITE LAYOUT

  • Containerised battery storage facility (13 x containers) with up
    to 49.9MW of energy storage.
  • Circa 6-meter-long containers at a height of approx. 2.5
    meters.
  • An access track, electricity meter building, fences, and
    containers housing batteries and related equipment would make
    up the development.
  • Stores extra grid generation in reserve – returns electricity to
    the grid as necessary. Allows more green energy to be added to
    grid mix.
  • This balances the grid’s supply and demand.
  • The existing hedgerows and trees will be retained and a belt of
  • new planting of native trees is proposed along the roadside to screen the development.
