Could a large battery energy storage system be installed near a castle?
Highland councillors have raised an objection to plans for a large battery energy storage system (BESS) near a castle that King Charles' grandmother saved from ruin. Developer Simec Atlantis Energy (SAE) has proposed installing more than 300 batteries on a 25 acre (10 ha) site two miles (3km) from Castle of Mey, near Thurso in Caithness.
Where are battery energy storage systems located?
The site in question is near Mybster and north of the Halsey wind farm, a twenty-minute drive west of Wick. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are a new development in renewable energy that allows excess energy to be stored for short periods.
What are battery energy storage systems?
Battery energy storage systems have been proposed for sites in Caithness and Wester Ross. The facilities store excess power when wind farms and hydro-electric schemes generate more than is needed and the energy is released at times of high demand.
Could a battery energy storage system be built at Torvean Quarry?
The Highland Council has identified the former Torvean Quarry (Inverness) for development of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), which would support distribution network operations via connection to an existing (collocated) overhead 33kV line.
