Battery Storage Project Denied, High River Landowners Celebrate
Description
Landowners near High River, Alberta, celebrate as the Alberta Utilities Commission rejects a battery storage project. Enfinites proposed one hundred megawatt, four-hour facility was deemed incompatible with local land use rules and posed environmental, community, and economic risks. The projects location, chosen to minimize transmission lines, lacked adequate fire coverage, water access, and power links. Locals expressed concerns about water contamination and emergency response. The denial, a victory for the county, follows last years rejection of a solar farm over bird risks. Enfinites next steps remain unclear, but the land is likely to be sold.
