The board set a public hearing for September to consider amending the county's solar revenue-sharing ordinance to cover battery energy storage systems alongside solar installations; staff and counsel reviewed draft revisions.
The County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 12 scheduled a public hearing for September to consider revisions to the county’s solar revenue-sharing ordinance that would explicitly include battery energy storage systems.
Board members and county counsel said revisions are being drafted to incorporate battery energy systems and other clarifying language into the existing revenue-sharing ordinance.

The board directed staff to publish the hearing notice and continue refining ordinance language. No final ordinance change was adopted at the Aug. 12 meeting; the hearing will provide a public forum for comment before the board considers adoption.
