ILI Group Wins Consent for 100MW Scottish BESS

10 Dec 2024   
ILI Group has secured Section 36 planning consent for its 100MW Flemyland battery energy storage system (BESS) project in North Ayrshire by Scottish Ministers.

This milestone marks the third major planning approval for ILI in the final quarter of 2024, following consents for the 200MW Whitehill project near Gartcosh and the 50MW Lochluichart project in the Highlands last month.

The consents total 350MW of energy storage capacity.

Mark Wilson, CEO of ILI Group, said: "To achieve three major planning consents is an incredible way to end the year.

“They represent a collective step forward in providing the energy storage capabilities Scotland needs to meet its net-zero targets.

“These projects will ensure renewable energy is utilised effectively, supporting a secure and stable grid while reducing reliance on fossil fuels."

"Strategically, the connection dates for these projects align perfectly with the anticipated grid connection reforms, positioning them to play a crucial role in Scotland’s energy infrastructure for years to come."
