The company proposing to create a battery storage site near Lambley has responded to concerns raided by residents and a local MP that were shared on Gedling Eye.
Grenergy has submitted plans to create a battery energy storage system (BESS) site on green fields at Burton Wood Farm, off Spring Lane which is located between the villages of Burton Joyce and Lambley.
Concerns about fires, explosions and environmental damage have been raised over plans to build the farm on land between Burton Joyce and Lambley.
A spokesman contacted Gedling Eye following concerns from residents.
They said: “Grenergy are an international independent power producer developing, owning and operating renewable energy projects across the globe.
“All of our projects are developed in the interest of national need whilst considering the localised social and environmental impacts of development. Assessments into these aspects have been produced by experienced and qualified professionals who evaluate the development based on accepted national standards.
“These are reviewed by equally suitable statutory consultees on behalf of the local planning authority and it should be noted that with regards to the Spring Lane planning application, we have received no objection from any of these professionals whom we rely upon to accurately assess these impacts.
“Battery Energy StorageSystems (BESS) play an essential role to store intermittent renewable generation when it would otherwise be lost, alleviate network constraints and provide grid balancing services; and under the government Clean Power 2030 objectives there is a recognition that the storage of this generation plays a pivotal role in supporting our goals towards a net zero future.
They added: “Grenergy look forward to working with the community to deliver this project should approval be granted.”
