RES has won development consent for its 45MW Contullich battery, which will be installed on land adjacent to the Alness substation, approximately 1km north-west of Alness. The facility was consented by The Highland Council.
RES has developed over 830MW of energy storage projects across the UK and Ireland and currently manage over 600MW of operational storage projects with 24/7/365 monitoring provided from its control centre in Glasgow.
Milo Amsbury-Savage, Development Project Manager for RES, said: “… RES firmly believes the local communities who host our projects should receive meaningful local benefits from them. During our pre-application consultation, we asked the local community for ideas for local benefits and priority projects that they would like to see supported or delivered in their community from the Contullich project, should it receive consent. We look forward to continuing these conversations in the coming months as we progress the project.”
