Longroad Energy plans to present its proposal for a 250-megawatt battery storage facility on a 17-acre site in Agawam, which aims to power 285,000 homes. Public meetings are scheduled for Monday, and construction is expected to begin in 2027, with operations starting in 2029. The project, part of a series of developments in the Pioneer Valley, has raised concerns among neighbors regarding fire safety and water contamination.
