WHY IS BATTERY STORAGE IMPORTANT
- Scotland is aiming to achieve net-zero by 2045.
- Battery projects let us store excess renewable energy until it is
needed- plugging the gap. - By 2050, according to NESO, we may require up to 40GW of
energy storage. - New energy storage is encouraged by the Energy Strategy and
Just Transition Plan 2024 in order to hasten the adoption of
storage innovation and deployment across Scotland.
LOCATION
- The development will connect to the East Kilbride 33kV Grid
Supply Point via underground cable. - 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 Langlands Gate, East
Kilbride. - The proposed site is approximately 0.5 hectares.
SITE ELEVATIONS
- Containerised battery storage facility (18 x containers) with up to 30 MW of energy storage
- Circa 6.5-metre-long containers at a height of approx. 2.5 metres.
SITE LAYOUT
- Containerised battery storage facility (18 x containers) with up
to 30MW of energy storage. - Circa 6.5-metre-long containers at a height of approx. 2.5
metres. - An access track, electricity meter building, fences,
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
the grid mix. - This balances the grid’s supply and demand.
- The existing hedgerows and trees will be retained, and a belt
of new planting and other native trees and plants is proposed to
fully screen the development.
