The location of the site for a battery energy storage system should depend on the availability of land, the proximity to transmission lines, and the environmental impact of the site. However, BESS have potential applications across the rural-to-urban transect, and most communities will need to address BESS. . Entitlements and construction permitting can be the most challenging and time-consuming aspects of the design process for BESS facilities. In part two of our three-part series, our experts cover the entitlement and permitting considerations that impact a BESS project.
