OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Heron Energy Storage Project Update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We have received official confirmation following direct communication with both Ferma Energy and Mayor Jim Ginn of the Municipality of Central Huron — the Heron Energy Storage Project has been placed on pause.

At the Regular Council Meeting held on October 20, 2025, it was noted that Ferma Energy, proponents of the Heron Energy Storage Project, have informed Council of their decision to focus on other projects at this time. The Council of the Municipality of Central Huron has yet to be formally involved in the decision-making process for this proposal, as no formal applications had been submitted.

This means the project, as proposed, will not be moving forward at this time.

To everyone who took the time to sign, share, attend meetings, speak with neighbours, and stay engaged — thank you. Your voices were heard, and your respectful participation made a real difference in ensuring our community was informed and our concerns recognized.

Thank you again for standing together for our community, awareness, and transparency.
