A report from Action to Protect Rural Scotland (APRS) – Scotland’s Countryside Charity – indicates that a moratorium is required to halt ‘huge oversupply’ of battery storage projects.
APRS writes:
The report includes the process for determining applications and grid connections, the distribution of current and future developments, current UK and Scottish Government policy covering renewable energy infrastructure, and an analysis of decision making in planning applications. Our findings draw on publicly available data, which we have brought together to do some new analysis. The report concludes with a set of policy recommendations requiring urgent consideration in light of the evidence.
