Proposed BESS Ordinance for the City: Concerns on Specific Sites

The city is feeling the pressure to allow BESS to be permitted locally to avoid companies using the state process. A new set of local rules (an ordinance) is being considered that would allow Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) back at the old Menard Energy site near North Village, as well as new potential sites near Elmira and Brighton Landing!

Thank you to all who took the time to attend the hearing!

We had about 100 attendees when the meeting began. Our county. Supervisor gave a speech and voiced his opposition. The public had many comments roughly 80 or so in opposition, there were 2 in favor. Lots of well written comments and concerns about:

-ag land being removed

-public safety

- homeowner insurance

-property values

-evacuations and first responders

-a historic home neighboring the property

- views and changes to the visual character

- wildfire- swainsons hawk, burrowing owls and bees

-cumulative effects of allowing Corby and others to industrialize our area

-overriding our county’s ordinance

-alternative safer battery chemistry

-alternative locations for the project

-NextEra’s public misrepresentations

And more…..

Unfortunately, public comments died down around 6pm so they closed the hearing.

There should be a link to rewatch if anyone missed it. There is still opportunity to submit written comments through November 18th.
