Cupar Energy Storage Park
Project timeline
The project
Downing Renewable Developments are helping to resolve the UK's energy crisis and accelerating the transition to Net Zero through a new energy storage development near Cupar, Fife.
The Energy Storage Park was submitted to Fife Council in September 2024 and is currently awaiting a decision. The Energy Storage Park will have the ability to store enough energy to power up to 35,000 homes for a two-hour period.
The Energy Storage Park will play a crucial role in supporting a more resilient and reliable energy grid. With a capacity of 12MW / 25MWh, the site will store surplus energy and release it when demand is high, ensuring a consistent and stable power supply.
By capturing excess energy from renewable sources like solar and wind, the project reduces the need for fossil fuel-based backup power and helps balance supply and demand on the grid. This improves energy security and enhances the overall efficiency of the energy network.
Our site plans are outlined below
Creating a sustainable future
We have a long-term vision for Cupar BESS which helps to address the UK's energy crisis, provides a substantial biodiversity net gain, and supports farmers, local agriculture, and the local community.
Forming a strong relationship with the community that we serve is important to us and we are continually exploring ways we can better support local initiatives. We value your feedback and try to reflect it in the way the project is designed, like the inclusion of permissive pathways and the retention and creation of wildlife habitats. If you do have any thoughts on how we can improve our proposals, please do get in touch.
Our commitments
We are committed to making a positive contribution
One-off community payment
A further £1,000/MW one-off payment when construction starts to be used by each Community Council to support local community projects.
