Further information on Innerwick Storage and the consultation process will be made available on as the process progresses.
Project Update and Public Consultation
The Braxbess Battery Energy Storage System, located south of Barns Ness Terrace, Innerwick, was granted consent by the Scottish Government's Energy Consents Unit (ECU) in July 2025 (Reference: ECU00004993). Innerwick Storage forms part of the already consented Braxbess development and is not a new battery storage development.
The purpose of the current application is to obtain a separate Section 36 operational licence for Innerwick Storage, allowing this part of the development to operate independently from the wider Braxbess scheme. This reflects the proposed ownership and grid connection arrangements.
For clarity, this application does not seek approval for any changes to the physical development already consented. The approved site layout, battery storage equipment and associated infrastructure will remain as already consented. No additional development or increase in the overall approved capacity is being sought. The existing Braxbess consent remains in place. The new application relates solely to the operational arrangements for Innerwick Storage.
