These changes support broader siting of distributed energy resources (solar, wind, and energy storage) at multiple points throughout the grid. Key new provisions are highlighted in the sections below.
Key new provisions pertaining to energy storage systems (ESS) are highlighted in the sections below, along with other zoning provisions pertinent to general construction/development projects that are
This document is intended to provide guidance to local governments considering developing an ordinance or rules related to the development of utility-scale solar energy systems that are permitted
The aim of the report, Energy Storage in Local Zoning Ordinances, is to inform land use decisions for energy storage projects by equipping planning officials with information

This report provides an overview of BESS from a land use perspective and describes their implications for zoning and project permitting. It concludes with an analysis of current energy storage zoning
This guide highlights the key components for organized, transparent, and consistent accessory use solar energy regulations for zoning or land use codes.
This report provides an overview of BESS from a land use perspective and describes their implications for zoning and project permitting. It concludes with an analysis of current energy storage zoning
One of the most important things to remember is that solar projects come in many different sizes and use-cases, so zoning ordinance needs to reflect this diversity in project type.
Defining energy storage in the zoning code will accommodate the anticipated growth in battery storage devices linked to solar energy systems and allow the review of storage equipment as part of, rather
Explore effective steps for implementing advanced zoning solutions for energy storage projects.
Provide a link to the fact sheet, zoning determination letter, or other online document that clarifies and summarizes how the zoning ordinance and land use regulations regulate solar energy.
