Capbal has won planning consent for a 10MW/5000kWh battery unit on the Feddal Estate, Perthshire. It is Capbal’s first storage scheme in Scotland to secure planning consent.

Capbal expects the Braco facility to enter operation in mid-2019. Its business partner, NEC, will provide four battery units that are similar in design to a shipping container. The facility will be shielded by landscaping works and the surrounding forest on the Feddal Estate.
