Plattekill maintains moratorium on battery storage; draft ordinance to go to county planning
Summary
The board said a moratorium on battery storage approvals remains in place while a draft ordinance — recently reviewed by the town attorney — will go to county planning for comment and later a public hearing.
The Town Board of Plattekill reconfirmed that a moratorium on battery-storage project approvals remains in effect while the board finalizes a local ordinance.
The chair reported that the draft battery-storage law has been reviewed by the town attorney and will be sent to County Planning for comment at its first-Wednesday meeting in September; the board expects to set a subsequent public hearing after the county’s feedback.
The board described the moratorium as a pause on approvals rather than a permanent ban while the town sets permitting standards. No action to lift the moratorium or to adopt the ordinance was taken at this meeting.
