After Prairie Pass approval, Adams County sets condition precedent and signals code update on decommissioning bonds

During Prairie Pass deliberations, county staff and the applicant agreed that the absence of an explicit county requirement for decommissioning bonds needed to be addressed in practice and policy. Staff said Adams County’s current development standards do not expressly require a bond for battery storage decommissioning, so for Prairie Pass the applicant agreed to be bound by a decommissioning plan and to provide financial assurance before permits are issued.
