The land requirement varies, BESS projects can be as small as two acres, or as large as 30 acres. Typically, BESS developers look for between two to 15 acres of relatively flat-lying land. Battery sites should be located near to existing infrastructure and in areas that minimise the impact on nearby residential properties. This is due to the
This is the largest planning consent for a standalone BESS in Scotland to date and the biggest ever secured by Apatura, marking a significant milestone in the company''s relentless mission to deliver sustainable energy solutions that fast-track the path to net zero. It is also the fourth consent for the company in less than 12 months, and
