With files from CTV News Ottawa's Kimberley Fowler A proposed battery energy storage site in the city's rural west end was at the center of discussion during an open house on Sunday, with concerned residents coming to heads with the company spearheading the project.
A city committee passed new regulations Thursday that lay out the ground rules for companies looking to build battery energy storage facilities in Ottawa, but residents are split on whether the new rules go too far — or not far enough.
Evolugen's website says the facility will provide benefits to the community, including grants for local organizations, job opportunities for residents, and reduced energy costs. “We're really excited to be doing this battery project. It's one of two in the city of Ottawa,” said Geoff Wright, Evolugen's Canadian head of development.
According to the new rules, companies looking to build a battery facility will have to show Ottawa Fire Services (OFS) that effective fire and safety risk management has been incorporated into the design. Companies will be required to install fire prevention and suppression systems, and provide OFS with site-specific training.
