Please see below for useful downloads and links to other sites that we feel are of use:

Download a pdf map of all of the BESS sites at Rothienorman HERE

Download a MS Word template objection letter HERE

This is a really useful objection guide put together by another community group - it is for opposing wind turbines, but the process is the same for BESS sites - https://handsoffourhills.co.uk/objections/Guide-How-To-Object.pdf

Aberdeenshire Council make decisions on applications for electricity generating sites under 50MW - you can search the planning portal here - either type in the word battery, or the specific planning reference number for a project: https://upa.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=simple&searchType=Application

The Energy Consents Unit is used for applications of electricity generating stations over 50MW - you can check the list of sites here = https://www.energyconsents.scot/ApplicationSearch.aspx

There is no way to get notifications for these, we recommend you check the site weekly.
