RCRC to Co-Host Free Webinar on Battery Energy Storage System Permitting

On Friday, September 27, RCRC will co-host a webinar with the California State Association of Counties and the League of California Cities on battery energy storage system (BESS) permitting.

The webinar, intended for local elected officials, planners, and industry officials will explore:

• Different permitting pathways for BESS permitting, including local permitting, the process for investor-owned utility (IOU) projects, and the Energy Commission’s AB 205 opt-in permitting process.
• BESS safety considerations and protocols, including the California Fire Code, National Fire Protection Association 855 safety standards, and the California Public Utilities Commission’s safety protocols.
• Perspectives on permitting best practices and challenges from a diverse panel of city and county representatives.

Attendees must REGISTER for the free webinar in advance.

Please contact RCRC Senior Policy Advocate, John Kennedy, with any questions.
