Crutherland Farm B.E.S.S. East Kilbride
Installation type: Battery Energy Storage System
Size: 22.8 MW
CleanEarth are proposing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on Land at Crutherland Farm, East Kilbride.
Battery storage is a technology that enables energy to be stored for later use. The storage system charges from excess grid energy and discharges at times of peak demand. The proposed BESS will have a capacity of 22.8MW.
Battery storage plays an important role in system flexibility as renewables like wind and solar increase to meet net-zero targets.
In-person public consultations were held on Monday 29 January and Tuesday 13 February 2024, and an online public consultation on Tuesday 6 February.
Public consultation materials are published below, and the planning statement and technical reports will be published here upon their completion. Feedback can be submitted by filling in the questionnaire below that will be active for 21 days following the last consultation event. Any further enquiries can be sent to the email address above.
