Residents in Vernou-la-Celle, Seine-et-Marne, are protesting against a proposed lithium battery installation for energy storage. The project involves 70 three-meter-high lithium containers on a three-hectare site, located under high-voltage power lines.

Local residents raised concerns over safety, environmental risks, and insufficient impact studies. A group has filed an appeal against the construction permit, while project representatives declined to attend a community meeting on February 11.
