THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Thurman is enacting a one-year moratorium on battery energy storage systems to study their impacts and appropriate siting. During the moratorium, no applications or permits for new BESS projects will be accepted, though variances are possible by Town Board hearing. This creates a planning window where the town may seek technical, legal, fire-safety, and land-use guidance to craft long-term BESS regulations and review processes.
Moratorium can be extended by the Town Board and includes a formal variance process with public notice and hearing.

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