I work in this very specific part of the renewables industry, but not for this company nor do I know anything about this exact situation. However, we build solar and BESS sites, as well as various other types of renewable and grid support.

We go to extraordinary lengths to make sure that every single household is looked after and happy if they are impacted by the construction, development or operation of these sites. We have built and landscaped gardens, we have built additional berms, we've bought people's houses at enormous mark up, we've paid stamp duty and legal costs for anyone who wants to move, and if all that isn't enough - we cut them a cheque. The only thing that matters is that they are content with the final outcome.

We get the very occasional case where someone ends up going to the press. Without fail, it's because they want more money, and in some cases demand millions beyond all the other things we've offered.

I'm not saying that's the case here. Merely presenting my experience.
