Banks Renewables has unveiled plans to develop a £100m 200MW battery project in West Lothian in Scotland.
Pond Energy Park, sited on an industrial park near Bathgate, will be submitted for planning permission later this year.
Pond Battery Storage will have an export capacity of 200MW over two hours.
Gordon Thomson, projects director at Banks Renewables, said: “The proposed Pond Battery Storage project in West Lothian marks a very exciting time for us here at Banks Renewables.
“Battery storage projects like this are becoming increasingly important in Scotland’s push for net zero.
“When it’s not sunny or windy, battery energy storage can allow us to dip into the reserves by using pre-generated energy in the batteries to supply to the national grid and reducing our reliance on energy derived from imported fossil fuels.”
The first in-person consultation events will occur on 12 October 2023 at the Jim Walker Partnership Centre in Bathgate.
Banks Renewables was recently acquired by global asset manager Brookfield.
