Some residents and councillors feel independent power producer, Aypa Power’s proposed battery storage facility could jeopardize public safety and agricultural land. A public meeting was held last night regarding the company’s plans for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and a zoning bylaw amendment that would be required for the plan to move forward.
This public meeting follows the initial proposal brought to council in November of 2023. Last night, several residents spoke out about possible health and environmental impacts of the project. In November of 2023, over 30 residents shared similar concerns.
