Highland energy storage power generation

4 FAQs about Highland energy storage power generation

How much will the Highland Energy project cost?

The project is expected to deliver more than £20m ($26.6m) annually to Highland communities over its 125-year life cycle. The project could become one of the UK's largest energy storage schemes. Credit: Glen Earrach Energy.

Are energy storage and energy generation projects approved in the UK?

In much of the UK, energy storage and energy generation projects under 50 MW can be approved by a standard local planning process, while projects above 50 MW are classified as Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) and require a more complex consent process.

Could a 2GW pumped storage hydro project become UK's largest energy storage scheme?
