6 FAQs about [Jersey bess facilities]
What zoning does a Bess system need?
These systems are being deployed as part of utility substations and transmission systems and as part of solar and wind electric generation projects. Depending on state enabling legislation, some BESS will be exempt from local zoning, such as when BESS is part of renewable energy or transmission projects that are exempt.
Where should Bess be located?
Most BESS are in electrical enclosures, cabinets, or modified shipping containers. PNNL researchers suggest that planners consider site location—whether BESS will be housed in new or old facilities—or whether they will they be placed outside where planners might want to consider trees or other visual barriers.
What is a Bess battery system?
Integrated with wholesale energy generation battery systems are high-capacity systems deployed within or as part of large-scale solar or wind facilities. These BESS serve the wholesale electric market at either the transmission or distribution system scale.
What is a Bess Land Use?
BESS are a land use that can have value at any point on the electric grid. Communities need to assess how to host new technology including distributed generation, utility-scale generation, expanded grid infrastructure, and energy storage facilities.
Is Bess exempt from local zoning?
Depending on state enabling legislation, some BESS will be exempt from local zoning, such as when BESS is part of renewable energy or transmission projects that are exempt. However, BESS have potential applications across the rural-to-urban transect, and most communities will need to address BESS in some form.
What are the benefits of a Bess permit?
BESS have potential community benefits when sited with other electric grid infrastructure. Permit BESS as an accessory use for sites with energy generation, particularly community- or utility-scale solar and wind facilities, subject to national safety standards (NFPA 855).
