In the wake of the Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility fire, regional and state-wide California authorities have proposed or passed legislation tightening control of BESS projects.
The California Energy Commission (CEC) has published an environmental impact report (EIR) for a huge 4.6GWh co-located BESS and solar project spread across 9,500 acres of land in Western Fresno County under development by US-based independent power producer (IPP) Intersect Power.
Illinois State Senator Bill Cunningham and Representative Marcus Evans have introduced a bill aimed at reducing energy bills in the state and setting a 15GW energy storage deployment target.
