Environmental Checks for BESS Sites 2024-2026
by Michelle Campbell-Robson, from the Community
A practical checklist for environmental checks at battery energy storage sites. It guides pre inspection preparation, review of planning controls and habitat monitoring, and detailed housekeeping for oil and chemical containers below and above 200 litres. It covers secondary containment, transformer bunding, mobile plant handling, spill kits, incident response and development of site emergency procedures. The template also addresses foul water systems including septic tanks and biodigesters, waste segregation and labeling, and F gas management for HVAC and SF6 switchgear with leak testing requirements. A site walkaround section records pollution observations and requires documenting Sphera record IDs and a summary of findings.
