Charlton Select Board Meeting · April 14, 2026How big is the proposed battery storage project in terms of capacity and acreage?

Earlier published response

The proposed facility will have a capacity of 150 megawatts (MW) of battery storage, enough stored energy to serve up to 120,000 homes for about four hours, feeding the regional grid. The fenced equipment area itself will cover about 5 acres or less, and total site disturbance, including tree clearing, will not exceed 10 acres of the just over 47-acre parcel.

Community Public Forum · September 30, 2026Why does the project need a 47-acre parcel?

Earlier published response

The leased project area would be about 15 acres, on a 47-acre parcel. The fenced equipment area inside it would be about 5 acres. The rest of the parcel is not part of the project area. We have not published lease terms.
