FERGUS – Centre Wellington Council has approved a zoning change for part of the property at 6235 Guelph Street in Nichol to allow for the development of a Battery Energy Storage System facility.
The facility, as it’s known, is proposed to contain 200 batteries and other supplementary infrastructure.
Back in May, the council supported the project, but the zoning by-law couldn’t be finalized until a related County-level approval was in place.
That step is now complete; the County of Wellington officially approved the required changes to their Official Plan on September 25th.
With both Township and County approvals now in place, the by-law has been passed to officially change the zoning and allow the project to move forward.
