SAN DIEGO – The county wants to hear from all interested stakeholders about its Battery Energy Storage Systems Project The County of San Diego Planning & Development Services invites residents to attend a public meeting to share their thoughts on the project.
A Battery Energy Storage System is a technology designed to store and manage energy for later use. It typically uses rechargeable batteries to store energy from various sources, such as the electrical grid, renewable energy sources like solar or wind power, or other power generation methods.
On July 17, the County Board of Supervisors asked staff to work with applicants to ensure that these facilities are taking all possible safety precautions to operate. The purpose of this public meeting will be to provide information on the Board direction, the different phases of the project, and opportunities for future outreach and engagement.
