Commission signs moratorium resolution on commercial battery energy storage systems
Summary
The Harvey County Commission signed Resolution 2025-20 enacting a temporary moratorium on commercial battery energy storage systems; commissioners said the board had approved the moratorium at a prior meeting and today signed the corrected form.
The Harvey County Board of Commissioners on July 15 formally signed Resolution 2025-20 enacting a moratorium on commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS). County counsel had proposed corrections to the draft, and commissioners confirmed they approved the measure at a prior meeting and were completing the formal signature step at the July 15 session.
Commissioners discussed that the substantive approval had occurred at the previous meeting and that the July 15 item was the corrected resolution for signature. No additional changes to policy, timeline or enforcement mechanisms were made during the July 15 signing item on the agenda.
The resolution enactment and the earlier vote were handled during the board—s regular agenda; the agenda report and counsel's edits were noted on the record. The commission did not take separate additional action on the moratorium at the July 15 meeting beyond signing the corrected resolution form.
