From the meeting
At its October 14, 2026 meeting, the Planning Commission considered zoning amendments to allow battery energy storage systems (BESSs) as a by-right accessory use on approved solar facilities. Staff recommended approval, but the change still had to move through the commission and Board of Supervisors. The item is tied to new state law and could affect future solar-plus-storage projects.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
