Ampeak Energy Ltd on Monday said Scottish ministers have granted Section 36 consent for its Mey battery energy storage system project in the north of Scotland. The Edinburgh, Scotland-based developer, owner and operator of sustainable energy projects said the consent permits the development of a BESS facility with an installed capacity of up to 300 megawatts. It will comprise containerised battery units and ancillary infrastructure. Ampeak is working towards achieving financial close on the project in 2027/2028 with an operational date targeted for the end of 2029. The firm said the Mey project, along with its battery projects at Uskmouth, Wales, represent a portfolio of 2.93 gigawatt hours of consented battery storage projects. ‘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,’ said Chief Executive Officer Graham Reid. Shares in Ampeak Energy were up 2.0% at 3.11 pence on Monday afternoon in London. Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
