How Scottish Government (S36) compares
Against the 137 UK authorities with 5+ battery storage decisions, Scottish Government (S36) sits in the 41st percentile for approval rate (2 points above the England average) and the 2nd percentile for speed.
Decisions by year
Approved Refused
Battery storage decisions by the year the decision was issued (Renewable Energy Planning Database). Withdrawn and still-undecided applications are excluded, so a short bar can mean a quiet year rather than a strict council.

Does Scottish Government (S36) approve battery storage schemes?
Yes — of the 108 battery storage schemes Scottish Government (S36) has decided, 94% were approved (102 granted, 6 refused). The UK-wide rate for battery storage is 92%.
How long does a battery storage scheme application take in Scottish Government (S36)?
The median time from application to decision is 17.3 months, against a UK median of 6 months for battery storage. That is measured between the submission and decision dates recorded in REPD, so it reflects the whole determination period including any extensions.
How much battery storage capacity has Scottish Government (S36) consented?
17,631 MW has been consented across 102 approved schemes, with 118 MW refused. A further 105 applications awaits a decision.

Source: Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Open Government Licence v3.0 — 2026 Q1 extract. Approval rate is over decided applications only (approved ÷ approved+refused); withdrawn and undecided schemes are excluded. A permission later expired still counts as approved because consent was granted. REPD covers schemes of roughly 150 kW and above, is published quarterly, and does not record refusal reasons — so nothing here explains why a scheme was refused. Screening context for site selection, not planning advice.
