New electric battery storage facility opens in West Lothian – Scotsman

Published by SAS Volunteer on September 13, 2018

Ilona Amos
An innovative new battery storage facility has been opened in West Lothian
to help balance the amount of electricity being fed into the National Grid.
The largest and fastest of its type in Scotland, the development will
charge up during periods of excess generation such as windy days, then feed
power into the grid when production is lower but demand is strong.
It will operate 24 hours a day, controlled from a centre in Glasgow, and is
able to respond in milliseconds.
