Enervest addresses submissions
Enervest, the energy generation and storage company proposing to build a battery energy storage system (BESS) in Hazeldean, has announced it intends to release summaries of their technical reports, so residents can see how feedback from the community has been addressed through studies and informed the next stage of project planning and design.
“We have spent the last few months thoroughly reviewing all submissions that were received from the community in response to our Development Application (DA),” Enervest said in a statement.
“We appreciate the insights provided and acknowledge the concerns raised during our community engagement last year. We are committed to ensuring that we address these concerns through the DA process, which is why this feedback has informed a number of further studies and an updated design.”
This comes after Somerset Council received nearly 300 public submissions opposing the project in June 2024.
A newsletter for the project is now also available. For any questions or to subscribe, email hazeldean@enervest.com.au.
