Energy—Industrial-scale battery—Doghill
Road, Baldivis
24. Hon Rod Caddies to
the Leader of the House representing the
Minister for Energy and Decarbonisation:
I refer to the plans
to construct an industrial-sized battery at Doghill Road.
(1) Can the minister confirm that the energy
transition will require the placement of industrial-scale batteries near
residential households in some instances?
(2) Can the minister confirm that an industrial
grid connected battery emits some noise pollution?
(3) Can the minister confirm that the noise
pollution could be heard by some people near the proposed Doghill Road battery
and be consistently present 365 days per year, 24 hours per day?
(4) In the event of a fire at an industrial
battery facility, what chemical elements are possibly released into the local
environment via fumes and water run-off?
