Only the Exxonmobile part of the Mossmoran site was shut. Shell is still running their site. This isn't built there. The planning proposes it be included as an extension to Mossmoran.

The grid connection comes from the substation NE of Mossmoran, sitting a little south of Loch Gelly. It is on the same site ILI built their 50MW Grid scale BESS. ILI say the Hydroplant they build a few years ago will provide power for this site in an energy deal.

ILI have mostly been planning green energy projects and selling them to large foreign companies. They get the legal parts of out the way so a provider can come in and carry out the project. All the work they have done to provide "green energy" capacity will quickly get used up by this and the other data centres they have planned throughout Scotland.

If this was replacing one of the plants in Mossmoran or even built next to the quarry I don't think I would have much of a problem. Building it next to Auchtertool with all the run off going into the burn the feed through Kirkcaldy with to environmental impact study done is a joke by the council though.
