Our letter to the Solano County Board of Supervisors, County Administrator, Director of Resource Management, and BESS Technical Working Group re: the BESS Moratorium

Tue Oct 15 2024

We shared a letter with the Solano County Board of Supervisors respectfully asking that when the BESS Moratorium is replaced with a permanent ordinance, these systems are permitted to be sited in unincorporated southeastern Solano County as long as the location complies with a set of health and safety criteria, including minimum distance from any existing or new neighborhoods.

We believe that southeastern Solano County is the ideal place to locate BESS because it is far away from sensitive land uses like residential communities and sites with vulnerable populations like schools and hospitals, would not displace prime agricultural land or ecological resources, and already contains major electrical infrastructure including multiple high voltage transmission lines, multiple electrical substations, one of the largest wind farms in the United States, and three peaker plants.
