What happened
The North Elba town board voted to adopt a one-year moratorium on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). While in effect, the local law prohibits the construction, installation, or approval of any BESS. Town officials stated the pause is intended to allow time to review and update land use codes to better regulate these technologies.
