Duke Energy has submitted a development proposal to construct a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Facility on their existing substation's facility located at 5201 Knightdale Eagle Rock Road. The approximately 11.3-acre facility would be located on the western side of the 201-acre site, adjacent to the future Project Hope development. The parcel is currently zoned Manufacturing & Industrial, which allows this use (Class 1 & 2 Utilities) to be reviewed and approved administratively by staff.
