BERLIN â Brookfield Renewable Energy met with the planning board last week in a conceptual review of its proposed battery storage project. Brookfield has an option on 3.8 acres of city land behind the district courthouse on Main Street where it is planning to install a 14-megawatt battery storage project.
Outlining the layout, Don Bouchard of Horizons Engineering said the site is east of the railroad and near two of Brookfieldâs hydroelectric plants as well as electric transmission lines.
The eight batteries will be enclosed in individual metal air conditioned modular containers on a slab foundation. A 7-foot high chain link fence around the containers will provide security.
