From the meeting
The draft law would create a Tier 1 BESS permit path for systems at or below 600 kWh in all zoning districts. Most smaller residential and commercial installations would go through Code Enforcement with building permit and electrical inspection review, and may need sealed plans, equipment sheets, and UL-listed components. That makes the town's new permit checklist a useful trigger for installers, design professionals, and battery system suppliers.

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.
