Macedon BESS will have regular operation & maintenance checks to be conducted half-yearly/annually/quarterly. These checks will be performed by both the project site’s operation & maintenance team as well as the system manufacturer’s specialists, to ensure that all components are operating optimally, especially when it comes to optimising the battery’s health performance. As well as regular maintenance, any weeds or pest animals found around the battery project components will be controlled regularly. This will be done per an approved monitoring plan. Perimeter security fencing, CCTV security cameras, all-weather access tracks, fire breaks, regular site inspections and ongoing maintenance checks will ensure the safe operation of the BESS project. The site manager’s contact details will also be made available to the public.
