Read the original article on bbc.com (opens in a new tab)BBC News reports that hundreds of objections have been lodged against Grenergy's plan for a 450MW battery storage facility on the Neston Park Estate in Wiltshire. It sets out residents' concerns about fire, water contamination and noise alongside the company's responses, and attributes each claim to whoever made it. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“battery storage is essential to store surplus renewable electricity and release it when demand is high”
The BBC says what the scheme is meant to do for the energy system, so objections about scale and local harm do not stand alone as pure cost.
“Grenergy said it has worked with the local fire and rescue service, who are satisfied with the proposals”
The fire safety reassurance is clearly attributed to the company and not stated as established fact in the BBC's own voice.
“a specialist review commissioned by Neston residents challenged the applicant's assessment that there would just be low-frequency noise”
The BBC gives the residents' evidence on noise a fair hearing and identifies who commissioned it, without letting the applicant's assessment stand unchallenged.
