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.

The location is approximately 1.7km to the main Redmoss 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 Rigifa Farm, adjacent to Cove Road, to the south of Cove and is screened to the south by Leith’s Quarry.

Containerised battery storage facility (56 x containers) with up to 49.9MW 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.
