On Feb. 14, Donna Sharkey, hearing officer for the siting division of the Department of Public Utilities (DPU), ruled on petitions to intervene and participate as a limited participant in the hearing of the Westfield ESS LLC, also known as Jupiter Power. The hearing is on Westfield ESS LLC’s requests for individual and comprehensive zoning exemptions from Westfield’s zoning ordinances, and approval to construct two 115-KV underground transmission lines in connection with the company’s proposed construction of a battery energy storage system BESS on Medeiros Way.
The proposed transmission lines are approximately 1,800 feet and 600 feet long, and they would connect the BESS with the Buck Pond Substation that is also located on Medeiros way.
