Mey BESS Consent

 

 

Ampeak Energy is pleased to announce that it has today received notification
from the Energy Consents Unit that Scottish Ministers have granted Section 36
consent ("Consent") for the Company's Mey BESS battery storage project in the
North of Scotland (the "Mey BESS Project").

 

The Consent permits the development of a battery energy storage facility with
an installed capacity of up to 300MW/1,200MWh, comprising containerised
battery units and ancillary infrastructure. The Consent is subject to standard
conditions and is accompanied by deemed planning permission under Section
57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997.

 

Ampeak Energy is working towards achieving financial close on the Mey BESS
Project in 2027/2028, with an operational date targeted for end of 2029, in
line with the current grid connection programme.  The Company will leverage
its expertise, learnings and relationships gained from financially closing and
building the 240MWh AW1 project at Uskmouth into delivering the Mey BESS
Project.

 

The Mey BESS Project, along with Ampeak Energy's battery projects at Uskmouth,
Wales, represents a portfolio of 2.93 GWh of consented battery storage
projects.

 

Graham Reid, Ampeak Energy CEO, commented:

 

"This is another milestone for the business and a great way to start the year.
Building on our experience and success at Uskmouth and demonstrating our
ability to apply that to other projects is a testament to the team and puts us
in a very good position as we continue to expand our portfolio."
