Scottish developer ILI Group has secured planning consent for a 50MW battery at Kintore, Aberdeenshire.
The project, to be built at Fordtown Farm in Kintore, was approved by the Aberdeenshire Council Garioch Area planning committee.
ILI Group CEO Mark Wilson said: “This project brings our total capacity of consented battery projects to 250MW with a further 300MW in the planning process and 500MW in pre-planning.
“We have a comprehensive energy storage plan for Scotland with both ‘long-term’ energy storage which can supply energy to the grid for a number of hours at a time, like our ‘Red John’ pump storage plant at Loch Ness, and ‘short term’ energy storage which can supply energy for minutes at a time like our project here at Kintore.
“Together, projects like these will supply the much-needed storage and balancing services to the grid network helping energy security and enabling the next generation of renewables to proceed, ensuring Scotland can reach its net zero targets.”
