Alcemi has obtained planning approval for its 300 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, a key step in bolstering renewable energy infrastructure. renewable energy renewable energy infrastructure.
BESS system at Kintore optimizes connection to the network
The project will be developed on a 5.7-hectare industrial site adjacent to the Midmill business park, just 1.5 km south of Kintore and less than 3 km from the substation of the same name. This proximity will facilitate direct connection to the transmission grid, optimizing the flow of renewable energy.
The system will allow store energy generated by intermittent renewable sources during off-peak hours and release it at times of high demand. This approach will help balance the grid and reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.
Sustainability and biodiversity as pillars of the project
Alcemi has worked in coordination with local authorities and key stakeholders to meet strict environmental requirements. After construction, ecological restoration measures will be implemented, including reforestation with native species and protection of natural habitats. protection of natural habitats..
Kintore’s BESS is part of a strategic alliance with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to deploy up to 4 GW of battery battery storage at critical locations in the United Kingdom. This partnership has already enabled the construction of more than 2 GW in other regions.
With this approval, Alcemi now has a total of 2.3 GW of authorized projects nationwide. James Forster, Development Director, highlighted the team’s performance and reaffirmed the importance of electrical storage for a low-carbon energy matrix.
Achieving 100% approvals reflects our commitment to responsible energy infrastructure development.
Forster stated.
