Following in the footsteps of several other US jurisdictions this year, officials at California’s Orange County are one step closer to amending zoning laws to allow the development of BESS.
Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) has laid the groundwork for a new 120MWh distribution-connected portfolio of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.
After imposing a moratorium on the development of new battery storage projects in January 2024, officials in Solano County, California, have adopted new zoning standards for the technology.
Miami, Florida-based developer Spearmint Energy has been given the go-ahead to develop a 300MW/600MWh lithium-ion BESS destined for Texas City in the Lone Star State.
Officials at the Zoning Board of Appeals for Hamilton County, Indiana, have rejected an application for a lithium iron phosphate BESS from developer Aypa Power.
In a move that might offer encouraging signs for the deployment of energy storage in the US Midwest, officials in Nebraska’s capital city, Lincoln, have recommended updates to zoning laws to allow large-scale battery storage.
Following recent progress for long-duration energy storage projects in California, Terra-Gen has entered the fray with its huge 8GWh hybrid BESS project.
California’s largest electric utility is continuing its push to establish a net-zero energy system by 2040, finalising an offtake agreement for 1.8GWh of battery storage capacity with Aypa Power.
Developer Rhynland Energy has applied to Massachusetts’ energy regulator for approval of a 180MW/720MWh standalone BESS, to the dismay of local authorities in the Town of Oakham.
