Next phase of development for Limekiln submitted
Boralex is pleased to announce that an application for a 70MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the next phase of development at its Limekiln Wind…
Scotland leads the way in harnessing renewable energy sources. Limekiln Wind Farm, which Boralex received consent from Scottish Ministers to construct and operate in 2022 is now fully operational. It consists of the original 19-turbine Limekiln Wind Farm alongside the 5-turbine Limekiln Wind Farm Extension, which operate together as one wind farm.
The net-zero targets set by Governments in Scotland, the UK and Europe will however require further investment in grid and other technologies to support the growth in onshore wind. This is where Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a key role.
As part of this requirement, and the next phase of development for the Limekiln site, an application has now been submitted for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) development. You can find all of the application documents here.
Boralex purchased onshore wind developer Infinergy, the developer of the Limekiln Wind Farms, and has been operating as Boralex since early 2023. The company develops renewable energy technologies throughout the United Kingdom and has in-house expertise and experience needed to design, develop, build and operate BESS developments.
Community consultation
We are keen to work with the local community. This website aims to share information about the project throughout development and to invite members of the community to get in touch. We are always delighted to hear from you and value your opinion.
Local television reception in Reay
Boralex is aware that some households in Reay have been experiencing interference with their television signal (analogue/freeview) since the wind farm began operations. If you have experienced interference, please do let us know by emailing [email protected]
