What is planned?

FIELD WOODHEAD

Field Woodhead Ltd (Field) is preparing to submit a planning application for a Battery Energy Storage System site on land to the south of the planned Coachford substation.

The battery would provide up to 400 MW of electricity to create a greener and more stable grid. This is expected to avoid up to 1.4 million tonnes of CO2e emissions during the first 20 years of operation.

Please visit www.fieldwoodhead.co.uk where we will provide updates on this project. For further information, please do not hesitate to email the project team at feedback@fieldwoodhead.co.uk.

We will be accepting pre-application submission comments until Monday 24th March 2025.

Comments made to Field are not representations to the Scottish Ministers. If the
Applicant submits a planning application there will be an opportunity for consultees to make representations on the application to the Scottish Ministers.

Wednesday 26th February 2025
