The projects should provide grid stability services and power management across the Central Belt
Amp Energy has announced plans for Europe's two largest grid-connected battery storage facilities, with its 800 MW battery portfolio in central Scotland.
The Scottish Green Battery Complex is due to be operational in April 2024 and will be comprised of two 400 MW battery facilities, each providing 800 MWhrs of energy storage capacity.
Following consultations with stakeholders and local councils, the two sites - at Hunterston and Kincardine - received planning consent from the Scottish Government on 5 January.
The Canadian renewable energy developer stated that these projects should provide reliable grid stability services and power management across the Central Belt.
By storing and managing the dispatch of renewable energy generated from Scottish wind farms, they are aimed at future-proofing the UK's electricity infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of transmission upgrades.
Following the recent ScotWind tender conclusion, for the planned addition of 25 GW of new renewable generation capacity, the requirement for large-scale energy storage has never been more critical. insider - link - Peter A Walker - link - more like this (Scotland) - link - more like this - link
