Bill overview
This bill restricts the placement of large battery energy storage systems in California, specifically those capable of storing 200 megawatt-hours or more. It requires the California Energy Commission to deny applications for such systems that are pending as of the bill’s effective date and prohibits development projects including these systems within 3,200 feet of sensitive receptors like homes and schools, or on environmentally sensitive sites. The bill also clarifies definitions and aims to address a statewide concern, not just a local one, ensuring its applicability to all California cities.
