About Keith Greener Grid Park - Energy Storage

Keith Greener Grid Park (GGP) was officially opened in March 2022 and is already helping the UK move towards a zero-carbon electricity network. Our Greener Grid Parks increase the stability of the electricity grid, eliminating the need for fossil fuel-powered plants.

We have identified an opportunity to install a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Batteries capture and store energy for future use. They increase the amount of renewable energy consumers can utilise by storing it when demand is low and releasing it when needed the most.

Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page if you have further questions, or get in touch with us to leave a comment or request a callback.

Why do we need Greener Grid Parks?

Project timeline

Stage 1: Site Selection

Extensive research to identify suitable sites. No public engagement is carried out during this time because the site may not pass the criteria required for being suitable for development.
Stage 2: Pre-Planning

We request the view of Moray Council on the level of study required. We contact local elected representatives and consultees.
Stage 3: Submit Planning Application, and Await Decision

An application is submitted to Moray Council, accompanied by a comprehensive Planning Report and Environmental Assessments showing the results of all studies undertaken.
Stage 4: Construction

If the project is approved, construction typically takes 18 months. Planning conditions are used to manage elements of construction.
Stage 5: Operation

The project is managed by a regionally based maintenance team, and operations are controlled by detailed planning conditions.
