Will the BESS project be noisy?

Like any equipment, there will be noise from the BESS components, mainly from the cooling systems such as fans. South Energy has engaged a reputable tier-one international consultant with proven expertise in developing and designing battery and renewable energy projects to conduct noise assessments. South Energy, the consultant and BESS project’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) will work together to assess the noise level and place the mitigations required to manage the noise level following the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997.
