STOP ONE OF SCOTLAND’S LARGEST LONG DURATION ENERGY STORAGE (LDES)
The Issue
APATURA are going for one of the first LDES sites in Scotland - 86 acres of industrialisation of our Countryside.
Let's STOP this together. SAVE OUR COMMUNITY & GREENBELT
Help us stop this Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES)
near Thorntonhall and Busby. 86 acres on Meikle Dripps Farm, Thorntonhall.
The original proposed BESS been put on PAUSE.
APATURA are now applying to Ofgem for the Busby LDES which is a MASSIVE 86-acre site - almost the size of 54 football pitches.
We cannot afford to ignore this.
Our community’s future is at stake.
The BESS/LDES Local Action Group and the Jackton and Thorntonhall Community Council (JTCC) are fighting back against this development because of the dangers it poses — from fire risks and noise, to environmental damage and traffic. While we acknowledge the importance of energy infrastructure, we believe this location is completely inappropriate and that safer, more suitable alternative locations should be considered.
We need YOUR help now. Please share this petition with friends, family and neighbours to gather support, to prevent this project from going ahead — before it’s too late. Together, we can STOP this threat and protect our homes, land, and safety.

Can you help us: We are looking for volunteers to help, if you can help with social media, marketing and raising awareness this would be super! We are also needing support from lawyers, journalists, wildlife and other experts, email Trisha at bess@thorntonhallbess.com
Please get friends and neighbours to send their email address to the BESS group too, so we can keep everyone updated with the latest E News.
