RES Granted Consent for 49.9-MW Battery Project in Scotland

• RES expands its energy storage portfolio with a 49.9-MW system in Scotland, boosting grid flexibility and supporting local communities.

RES has received approval to build a 49.9-MW battery energy storage system in Scotland, adding to its existing portfolio of projects in the UK and Ireland. The Dunmill BESS, located near Montrose, will enhance grid flexibility by storing electricity during peak generation times and discharging it when demand is high. Construction is expected to take 12 months, with local contractors and employees involved in the process.

The project has been approved by Angus Council and will help balance supply and demand on the grid. RES currently manages over 600 MW of battery storage systems and recently submitted a planning application for a 30-MW solar park with an energy storage system in England.
