Qair wins consent for 98 MW Scottish solar site with 100 MW BESS
The South Lanarkshire project is Scotland's largest permitted PV development and pairs generation with grid-scale storage.
By Matthias Blank · drafted with the Vantage newsroom system, approved before publication
Qair secured planning consent for a 98 MW solar farm in South Lanarkshire, per Renews.biz. The site is Scotland's largest approved PV project to date. It pairs the solar capacity with a 100 MW battery storage system, making it a hybrid asset from the outset rather than a retrofit.
South Lanarkshire sits within a transmission zone where grid access has been a recurring constraint for large renewables. Pairing storage with generation is a common response to connection queue pressures in GB, allowing developers to firm up export capacity and participate in balancing markets from a single site.
No construction timeline or grid connection date was disclosed in the available reporting.
