Aikengall IIA Windfarm
Aikengall IIa was constructed during unprecedented global conditions brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Nineteen Siemens Direct Drive turbines were installed utilising Scottish civils contractors and local businesses, in accordance with our ‘Buy Scottish’ policy and construction and commissioning of the turbines was completed in 2021.
Aikengall IIa was also awarded a constraint management contract with National Grid ESO, as part of their Management Pathfinder Project. Within this 2023-24 contract, Aikengall IIa played a part in providing flexibility to the electricity system when network faults occurred, which in turn enabled National Grid ESO to manage constraints more effectively, with balancing costs reduced – a positive result for consumers.
Aikengall 1 Battery Storage
This is a BESS project that sits adjacent to the existing sub-station and grid connection point for Aikengall I Wind farm near Dunbar.
The scheme was submitted for planning approval in October 2023 and approved in August 2024. Work will commence on site within the planning period, and the project development and design are currently ongoing.
The BESS units utilise an existing upland moorland area and are conveniently situated adjacent the existing Aikengall I electrical compound which already houses the wind farm control room, substation and grid connection serving the Aikengall I operational wind farm.
Once operational it will assist in balancing the green electrical generation from the wind farm and will have a storage capacity of approximately 20MW. It will utilise the existing grid connection which serves Aikengall I wind farm.
Aikengall IIA Battery Storage
This is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project that's adjacent to the existing sub-station and grid connection point for Aikengall IIA Wind farm near Dunbar.
The scheme was submitted for planning approval in October 2018 and was approved in July 2019. Work has commenced on site and the project development and final design is ongoing. Once operational it will assist in balancing the green electrical generation and will have a storage capacity of around 50MW, making good use of an existing operational grid connection.
Wardlaw Wood Battery Storage
This is a BESS project that sits adjacent the existing sub-station and grid connection point for Millour Hill/Wardlaw Wood/Dalry Wind farms in North Ayrshire.
The scheme was submitted, for planning approval in July 2023 and was approved in September 2023. Work will commence on site within the planning period, and the project development and design are currently ongoing. The BESS units are conveniently situated adjacent the existing electrical compound which already houses the wind farm control room, substation and grid connection.
Once operational it will assist in balancing the green electrical generation from the onshore wind farms and will have a storage capacity of around 20MW.
Wardlaw Wood Solar
This proposed Solar (PV) Farm has been designed to sit alongside the existing operational Wardlaw Wood wind farm in North Ayrshire. The various solar arrays will nestle between the existing turbines and access tracks which have been in place since 2005. The panels will produce around 20MW of green generation once installed. The solar arrays complement the existing renewable energy project on this site and is a great example of co-located renewables. The application for the project has been submitted to the local Council and it is hoped that approval will be given quickly given the low impact this renewable energy project would have. The project will utilise the existing grid connection to the operational wind farm and will assist in balancing the green electrical generation from the whole site. It is intended that construction of the project, subject to planning approval, will commence in 2025.
