A public meeting will take place in Inishowen next week to discuss concerns over a proposed battery storage project in the area.
Future Ireland Development has lodged plans with Donegal County Council for 248 shipping containers at Ballynahone, Buncrana. The proposed ‘Ballynahone Energy Storage,’ will be the company’s first battery storage project and, they said, the first of its kind in Europe.
The site will have a total surface area of 7.1 acres (2.9 hectares) and include a substation, transformers and fencing.
However, locals have launched a campaign to stop the ‘unwanted’ development in the Buncrana and Fahan area.
The recently formed Buncrana – Fahan Against Untested Battery Storage will hold a public information meeting next Wednesday at 7:30pm in Scoil Iosagain, Buncrana.
