Moray Council has granted consent for a 49.9MW Corshellach battery, on land adjacent to the Berryburn substation, near Dunphail, Moray.

The site was chosen by developer RES for its proximity to Berryburn substation where it will connect to the grid network. RES said it has a “strong track record for working with the local supply chain around its projects and maximising inward investment” It added that there are expected to be opportunities for local contractors and employees to get involved in the construction phase, which is estimated to take around 12 months.

RES has developed over 830MW of energy storage projects across the UK and Ireland and currently manages over 600MW of operational storage projects from its control centre in Glasgow.
