BALWYLLO ENERGY STORAGE PROJECT
PROJECT INFORMATION
The proposed energy storage facility would comprise up to fifty battery storage units housed within steel containers along with ancillary structures. It is envisaged that the battery units would be based on 40ft steel sea containers.
The proposed energy storage facility would provide rapid-response electrical back-up to the National Grid and would represent an early deployment within the UK of a high-tech grid balancing facility, of a type which is already seeing significant deployment in the USA and other parts of the world.
The site would be landscaped to provide screening of the project which will be designed to deliver biodiversity net gain.
Two public consultation events were held on Tuesday the 24th of January and Tuesday the 21st of February
2023.
A planning application has been submitted to Angus Council. The planning reference number is: 23/00754/FULM.
The plan shows the proposed site layout for the project.
LOCATION
The project is located on land immediately adjacent to Bridge of Dun Substation
around 400m northwest of the village of Bridge of Dun and
approximately 6km to the West of Montrose.
