Projects under development and construction

Coylton Greener Grid Park
Statkraft has now submitted a major planning application (ref 23/0580/PP) to East Ayrshire Council in October 2023 for a Greener Grid Park on land adjacent to Coylton substation. This application represents Battery Energy Storage Scheme (BESS) with a capacity of 50MW.
Planning Background
In October 2021, Statkraft submitted a local planning application for Coylton Greener Grid Park in East Ayrshire (ref: 21/0748/PP). In March 2022, we were successful in a bidding process to provide stability services for NGESO under Stability Pathfinder Phase 2 and subsequently received planning consent for the development from East Ayrshire Council in August 2022. The planning application received no objections during the planning process and this consented scheme has not been built.
When we submitted the first application, NGESO had not confirmed their exact requirements for the project. Now they have confirmed these, we have submitted a new application to East Ayrshire Council, which will accurately represent the project and meet our obligations under our Stability contract with NGESO. This proposed scheme will replace the consented scheme.
You can review the full planning application on the council’s planning portal here, using ref 23/0580/PP.
