Lightsource bp is working on a proposal for an energy storage project at Houston Road, Freeland, Erskine, Renfrewshire. We will fund and operate a 400MW\/ 2,400 MWh (6-hour duration) battery connected into the local electricity network. The energy storage project will facilitate the integration of renewable energy into the grid, helping to support low-cost electricity and the enhanced reliability of the electricity grid.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve chosen this site after careful consideration, and we\u2019re now undertaking a wide range of environmental assessments to help shape our plans. These include landscape and visual, heritage and archaeology, ecology and ornithology, flooding and more.<\/p>\n

A key part of developing plans for the energy storage project is engaging with local communities, so we\u2019re holding two consultation events on Wednesday 6th August and Wednesday 17th Sept at Inchinnan Village Hall, between 2pm and 8pm, to display our plans and gather feedback. We\u2019ve sent out a consultation leaflet to the local community, as well as a press release to local newspapers, inviting interested parties to join us at the events. Members of the Lightsource bp team will be on hand to answer any questions about the proposal.<\/p>\n\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
