WHY IS BATTERY STORAGE IMPORTANT
- Scotland is aiming to achieve net-zero by 2045.
- Intermittent renewable energy generation means 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 approximately 1.54km to the main Dyce Substation Grid 132kV 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 andmeans lower embodied carbon emissions.
-
The application site is located on land at Goval Farm and westfrom Whitestripes Road, to the north of Dyce.
-
The proposed site is approximately 1 hectare (the size of afootball pitch) and currently consists of low quality agricultural
land.

SITE ELEVATIONS
- Containerised battery storage facility (38 x containers) with up to 33 MW of energy storage.
- Circa 7.8-meter-long containers at a height of approx. 2.6 meters.



SITE LAYOUT
- Containerised battery storage facility (38 x containers) with up
to 33MW of energy storage. - Circa 7.8-meter-long containers at a height of approx. 2.6
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.
