What are battery safety requirements?

These include performance and durability requirements for industrial batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and light means of transport (LMT) batteries; safety standards for stationary battery energy storage systems (SBESS); and information requirements on SOH and expected lifetime.

What are the requirements for a rechargeable industrial battery?

Performance and Durability Requirements (Article 10) Article 10 of the regulation mandates that from 18 August 2024, rechargeable industrial batteries with a capacity exceeding 2 kWh, LMT batteries, and EV batteries must be accompanied by detailed technical documentation.

Are battery energy storage systems sustainable?

From a more practical point of view, development can be viewed by the planning system as being ‘sustainable’ if it complies with the three overarching objectives – economic, social and environmental, as set out in paragraph 8 of the NPPF. Fundamentally, Battery Energy Storage Systems (‘BESSs’) are sustainable development.

Does Bess require environmental approval?

Ontario’s Guide to Environmental Approval Requirements (GEAR) for Electricity Projects lists Environmental Approval requirements based on Resource Types. Storage is not generation so BESS are non-designated Class A resource types under GEAR, and regardless of size, do not require an Environmental Assessment for approval.

How many battery racks will be in a Bess facility?

The primary component of the BESS facility will be the 24 Battery Racks. These will be in pairs, in two rows running north-south, to either side of the gravel driveway. Each of the Battery Racks will be 9.80 m by 1.70 m and 2.30 m in height, and will be mounted on 5 concrete strip foundations.
