How to Navigate State and Local Permitting for Battery Energy Storage
Navigate state and local permitting for BESS projects with expert insights, regulatory steps, and strategies for successful energy storage development.
State and local permitting are crucial steps in the development of battery energy storage projects. Each state has its own regulatory framework, and local jurisdictions may impose additional requirements. California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin are a few examples of states that have robust statewide permitting processes.
• Battery Energy Storage System Model Permit (Model Permit): The Model Permit is intended to help local government officials and AHJs establish the minimum submittal requirements for electrical and structural plan review that are necessary when permitting residential and small commercial battery energy storage systems.
The storage industry anticipates this to be passed into law in 2022, and that it will apply to projects that achieved commercial operation after December 31, 2020, reducing the risks and uncertainty in energy storage project economics.
The development of battery energy storage projects requires navigating a complex web of state and local permitting processes. Understanding these requirements alongside the battery energy storage system design process is essential for successful project execution.
