Residents object to battery storage facility in Cork village
Knockraha is in the process of getting cabling and a substation building as part of the €1.6bn Celtic Interconnector.
Almost an entire rural community has lodged an objection to An Bord Pleanála over permission granted by Cork County Council for a major battery storage facility on the outskirts of Cork City.
People living in Knockraha are concerned about the massive ‘energy hub’ being created in their area and what they fear is the potential for explosions, fire and pollution which could come with that.
