Rashley New Energy is an exciting, state of the art energy storage project proposed by New Energy Partnership. It consists of proposals for a new 100MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project near Ardrossan. The project will help Scotland meet its climate goals and provide significant economic benefits to Ayrshire.

Project Overview
The proposed project is located on up to 13 acres of agricultural land at High Boydstone Farm near Ardrossan and will provide 100MW of battery energy storage. The electricity storage concept is recognised as a method of decarbonising the energy network, therefore assisting in meeting the UK’s Net Zero target by 2050.
Battery storage enables electricity generated from renewable sources to be stored when levels of generation exceed demand, then used when most needed. The systems also provide valuable balancing services to the electricity network, improving resilience of the grid.
The project comprises a standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) alongside associated infrastructure such as access, substation, fencing and landscaping.
To ensure the Rashley New Energy project is delivered with the local community in mind, we are seeking your views on this proposal ahead of submitting a formal section 36 application to the Energy Consents Unit (ECU).
This dedicated project website has been created to share the latest news with the local community and facilitate feedback.
