Public Exhibition - February 2025

Since our public exhibition in December 2024, where we presented our preliminary plans for a battery energy storage project on land north of Killoch Colliery between the villages of Coalhall and Ochiltree, we have been refining the design in response to feedback received and ongoing surveys and assessments. 

As part of our continuing pre-application consultation, we held a second public exhibition in the local area to present updated plans for the battery energy storage project, ahead of submitting a planning application later this year. 

This exhibition initiated a consultation period run by RES to gather comments on the proposal. The closing date for comments was Friday 7 March 2025. 

Please note that comments submitted to RES at this time were not representations to the determining authority (Scottish Government's Energy Consents Unit). There is an opportunity to submit representations to the determining authority now an application has been made.

All information provided at the public exhibition is available to view below. 

We sought to address common comments raised at the public exhibition in December in these consultation materials. Alongside the below we also produced a Report on Feedback which summarises the feedback gathered from the first consultation and how we have responded to it.
