Residents are being urged to have their say on plans for a battery energy facility at the Port of Southampton. NatPower UK has launched a consultation on proposals for a 28‑hectare site between Redbridge Railway Station and the River Test. The project, which is at the pre‑planning application stage, involves building a 1GW battery energy storage system. A public event was held last week and the company is encouraging residents to share their views before the consultation closes on Friday, July 3.
