The proposed development has been designed to deliver up to 400MW of power. The proposed development will supply electricity to the National Grid during times of peak power demand, support other low-carbon and renewable projects, aimed to help ensure the UK meets its net zero targets. TBC Partners have responded to National Grid’s requirements for larger BESS projects connected directly to their transmission infrastructure, easing significant constraints on power flows in both directions between Scotland and England.
TBC Partners strongly believe the local community should see benefits from the proposed BESS facility. Through these organised consultation events, we are actively seeking input from the local community on how this may be achieved. TBC Partners will continue to work with local stakeholders to identify priorities for a community benefit scheme. That scheme could include initiatives related to enhancements to local nature, technical education schemes or transport amongst other things. TBC Partners want the community to shape how this project will benefit the local area.
TBC Partners will support the UK’s greener electricity grid on its path to net-zero. Flexible energy storage including the proposed development will be key to receiving the full benefit from renewable technology.
The site is located on land east of the A6112 and 2km south-east of Duns. TBC Partners have carefully considered various factors to assess the suitability of a number of locations for the proposed development in the area. These factors include, but are not limited to:
