Notice is hereby given that Sirius EcoDev (Tealing) Ltd, The Factory, Whitchurch, Ross-On-Wye, Herefordshire, United Kingdom, HR9 6DF. Company number 12111730, has applied to the Scottish Ministers for consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 to construct and operate a Battery Energy Storage Facility at land to the north east of Gagie Home Farm, By Duntrune, DD4 0PR (Central Grid Reference NO452382). Sirius EcoDev (Tealing) Ltd has also asked that Scottish Ministers give a direction under section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 that planning permission for the development be deemed to be granted.
The renewable energy development on land to the north east of Gagie Home Farm, By Duntrune, DD4 0PR (Central Grid Reference NO452382), is an important local step in aiding the climate challenge fight globally.
The renewable energy development on land to the north east of Gagie Home Farm, By Duntrune, DD4 0PR (Central Grid Reference NO452382), is an important local step in aiding the climate challenge fight globally.
A planning application has been submitted to The Consents Unit by Sirius EcoDev (Tealing) Ltd who are seeking as Phase 1, to develop an 80MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on land to the north east of Gagie Home farm, By Duntrune, Angus, DD4 0PR.
The proposal is to develop the BESS across approximately 1.9 ha of land, which will ultimately enable 80MW of power to be imported, stored and exported from the site to the electrical grid network. This will assist with the balancing requirements on the network as electricity generation shifts over to more intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. The developments provide sustainable and viable renewable energy and grid assistance. This includes a commitment to increase biodiversity, enhance wildlife habitats, while securing essential energy provisions to the local network. Furthermore, the development provides essential balancing and back up supplies to the National Grid with low environmental impact. The development has taken a conscientious approach to minimising any potential visual impact to residents and visitors as well as businesses.
Whilst developments of this scale may seem initially intimidating they are, when properly sited, planned and screened, an essential component to obtaining net zero. By achieving net zero we can begin to fight Climate Change. Even if every home in nearby Duntrune or Dundee, or indeed Scotland, had solar panels installed and switched to electric cars, it still would not be enough to achieve the targets set by Scotland to reach net zero by 2045. We cannot achieve these targets and make these changes by thinking about residential changes alone, it needs an accumulation of small, medium and large scale developments of renewable energy, a mix of technologies and a determined attitude to make it work. This development is situated where essential infrastructure can support the development and the development can support the grid network.
