RES will hold a Public Community Drop-in Meeting on Thursday December 1st, 2022 from 5 pm to 8 pm at the Thamesville Royal Canadian Legion, 32 Victoria Street, Thamesville, ON

This project is very much at its preliminary & feasibility stage of development.  That’s why we think it’s the best time to share our vision, present project components and timelines, outline the applicable permitting and regulatory processes we expect to engage, and especially receive your initial feedback.

We see this first occasion to meet in person as the start of a dialogue, leading to thorough consultation and engagement with all stakeholders. As we continue to evaluate the project, we will certainly be making additional efforts to engage with interested communities and stakeholders in the weeks and months ahead.

This will be an opportunity to discuss with Project representatives, learn more about the Project and raise any questions you may have.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND ASSESSMENTS

As part of the government review process, energy storage projects are subject to the Ontario Class Environmental Approval process under the Environmental Assessment Act.  In order to meet these requirements and to design the Project layout, we are in the process of completing a number of studies, including desktop and field studies focused on:

  • Wildlife Field Surveys
  • Wetlands Classification and Mapping
  • Vegetation Field Surveys and Mapping
  • Soil Surveys
  • Geotechnical Studies
  • Noise Impact Assessment
  • Archeological Surveys
  • Sub-surface Surveys for oil/gas facilities & other underground infrastructure

ONGOING DEVELOPMENT WORK

RES is currently in the process of:

  • Conducting ongoing stakeholder consultation activities
  • Carrying out preliminary site investigations and surveys
  • Design and Engineering
  • Permitting activities.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION

As the Project proceeds through the development process, we are committed to working with all landowners and stakeholders to establish and maintain a strong relationship between RES and the community. We strive to exceed the minimum requirements on all our projects, and we commit to responding and acting on all comments and concerns in a timely manner.
