The Association of Scotland’s Self Caterers (ASSC) is dedicated to supporting self-catering accommodation providers in adopting sustainable and cost-effective practices. One such innovation is the use of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Battery Energy Storage Systems are typically used to store excess renewable energy produced at a property or to charge at night for use during the day at a cheaper rate or a combination of both.
This Guidance produced by Shire Energy Services Ltd outlines the benefits of BESS, typical sizes for domestic and small-scale commercial applications, financial considerations, regulatory requirements, and insurance aspects.
