A public meeting is taking place this evening to discuss a proposed battery energy storage system facility in Inishowen.
There’s concern over the impact FuturEnergy Ireland’s Ballynahone Energy Storage development on Gransha Road near Buncrana will have on the local environment.
A first of it’s kind in Europe, the project proposes to use iron-air batteries capable of storing energy for up to 100 hours when fully charged.
The company has submitted a planning application to Donegal County Council.
The meeting organised by the ‘Buncrana-Fahan Against Untested Battery Storage’ campaign group, is taking place at Scoil Íosagáin, Buncrana at 7:30pm this evening.
