Residents of Leitholm - a village between Coldstream and Greenlaw - claim the heart is being ripped out of their community with the arrival of battery storage facilities. If all six proposed facilities are approved, more than 200 acres of farmland will be turned over to concreted compounds within a three-kilometre radius of their village.
A spokesperson explained: "Connection capacity currently exists at expanded or newly developed strategic substations in the Scottish Borders and this is why we are working to develop, construct and operate a battery energy storage system in immediate proximity to the Eccles HV substation.
But resident James Finnie believes one of the proposed battery storage facilities near Eccles substation has put his life in limbo. He explained: "Both my wife and I have elderly parents in their 80s and 90s - and we decided a couple of years ago to sell up and move closer so that we could take care of them.
"Industrial brownfield sites should be the place to start when considering battery storage facilities. "You need controls to make sure you have enough energy storage, but also to make sure that you don't have too much."
