From the meeting
At its June 16, 2026 meeting, Halifax County introduced a new zoning ordinance for battery energy storage facilities. Staff said the ordinance would allow battery storage as an accessory use at existing solar sites and as a standalone principal use, with the same setback, buffer, and fire-protection controls as solar. The commission later recommended approval, so the item was still moving through local review rather than being awarded.
Any battery developer watching Halifax County now has a clear policy path and permitting framework.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Halifax County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
