From the meeting
On September 23, 2026 the board adopted ordinance amendment OA26-0922 to create the use 'Battery Energy Storage System' and add siting, safety, noise, fencing, application, and decommissioning standards. The change does not buy a project directly, but it signals the county is preparing a clearer path for battery storage development and related permitting. Energy developers and site consultants now have a defined local framework to work from.
