The Glentaggart Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a proposed 42MW facility located approximately 4km southeast of Douglas, South Lanarkshire. The project will store excess energy when grid demand is low, and renewable generation is high, helping to stabilise the electricity grid and support Scotland’s transition to a net-zero future.
Strategically positioned near the proposed Redshaw Substation, Glentaggart BESS will be capable of storing 84 megawatt-hours of electricity - enough to power 136,000 homes for two hours. The project will contribute to local and national sustainability targets by balancing energy supply and demand, ensuring a cleaner and more resilient energy system.
