Opinion

We, the members of Residents Against the Marchurst BESS, are deeply concerned about the proposed construction of a 250 MW lithium iron phosphate (LFP) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on Marchurst Road.

OPINION – It’s election time in Ontario, and across the province, candidates have started meeting with voters and sharing their platforms. It’s a great time for all of us to be involved in our democratic process – focusing on the issues that matter and learning what candidates would do about them if elected.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the format chosen for the public meeting scheduled for Feb. 23, as outlined in the attached letter.

Evolugen looks forward to hosting our next community engagement and consultation event on Sunday, Feb. 23 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at West Carleton Secondary School (3088 Dunrobin Rd).

I am writing to express my strong support for Evolugen’s proposed battery storage facility (Battery Energy Storage System – BESS) in our community.

CONSTANCE BAY – Branch 616 has had an excellent start to the new year and intends to keep up the pace.

I agree there is concern with the City of Ottawa land deals.

December 2024, the City of Ottawa closed on a deal to purchase a 28 acres parcel of land on Mohrs Road.

It is impressive the anti-Fitzroy BESS sentiment has quickly refocused onto an anti-South March BESS sentiment with a petition created voicing opposition to the construction of a 250 Megawatt battery storage system on Marchurst Road in South March.
