A community battery project three years in the making, run by a local not-for-profit and backed by the council, was killed after a spark of misinformation about its fire risk was ignited.
500kWh…that’s it? That’s only 10x my home battery, and it’s supposed to help a whole community? This would give 50 houses 10kWh each, so about 2 hours of power if they have their air-conditioning on lol. Less if they’re using it for heating.
Sorry but a 500kWh battery is borderline pointless for a community battery.
