Abbotshaugh Energy Storage is a potential Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with up to 500MW energy storage which would be built near New Deer, Aberdeenshire. It is designed to store excess renewable energy and release it when needed, supporting grid stability and Scotland’s renewable energy targets.

We have now submitted an application to the Scottish Government's Energy Consents Unit.
