Project Status
Developing a utility-scale battery is a complex and time-consuming process that typically takes several years. It involves various stages including securing land rights, obtaining permits, design and construct and operation. Even with careful planning and coordination, projects may stall or be discontinued. For these reasons FRV is committed to ongoing communication with project stakeholders as to the project’s status.
