Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it has any fire safety documentation related to the development of the proposed battery storage facility at Hunterston, North Ayrshire.
Answer
An application was made to Scottish Ministers under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 by FlexibleGridPower2 Ltd for the electricity generating station known as Hunterston Grid Services Complex at Campbelton Farm on 17 August 2021.
With reference to the application in question, Scottish Government does not hold this information.
The Electricity (Applications for Consent) Regulations 1990 apply to all applications to construct and operate electricity generating stations under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. There is no legal requirement for fire safety documentation to be included with applications made under these regulations.
All documents submitted by the developer in support of the application are published on the Scottish Government Energy Consents website at https://www.energyconsents.scot/ApplicationDetails.aspx?cr=ECU00003319 .
