Perth & Kinross Council has become the first place in the world to use spiral-flow battery technology to reduce its carbon footprint.

The new smart energy network will also help bring down costs.

Convener of the council's climate change and sustainability committee, Richard Watters, said: ‘This is ground-breaking technology that demonstrates our commitment to tackling the climate emergency.

‘Innovation will be key to reducing our carbon footprint and this energy storage system - designed and built in Scotland - is the first of its kind to be used in this way and will help Perth become Europe’s most sustainable small city.’
