Public Exhibition - September 2024

Since our public exhibitions in July 2024, where we presented our preliminary plans for an energy storage project on land adjacent to the Eccles substation between Eccles and Coldstream, we have been refining the design in response to feedback received and ongoing surveys and assessments.

As part of our continuing pre-application consultation, we recently held a second public exhibition in the local area to present updated plans for the energy storage project, ahead of submitting a planning application later this year.

The exhibition initiated a consultation period being run by RES to gather comments on the updated proposal. The closing date for comments was Friday 27th September 2024. Comments will still be accepted after this date but may not be considered in relation to the design development, please contact us for more information.

Please note that comments submitted to RES at this time are not representations to the determining authority (Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit). There will be an opportunity to submit representations to the determining authority should an application be made.

All information provided at the public exhibition is available to view below. Hard copies are available on request, please contact us for more information.

We have sought to address common comments and concerns raised at the public exhibition in July, in these consultation materials.

Alongside the consultation materials we have produced a Report on Feedback which summarises the written feedback gathered from the first consultation and how we have responded to it.
