Thompsons council approves civil plans for two battery storage projects
Summary
The Town of Thompsons approved Resolution #323 to allow civil design plans for Bypass BESS II and III. The developer said construction will begin soon and the facility "should be online by next summer to support the electric grid."
The Town of Thompsons City Council on Sept. 19 approved Resolution #323 to accept civil design plans for two battery energy storage system projects proposed by Bypass BESS II, LLC and Bypass BESS III, LLC. Forrest Forster, senior vice president of development representing the AYPA Plant projects, led a briefing for council members on site security, safety measures and evacuation planning.
Forrest Forster told the council that construction will begin on the battery energy storage project and should be online by next summer to support the electric grid. Councilman Edward Taylor moved to approve the resolution; James Todd seconded the motion and the measure passed. The resolution authorizes the mayor or designee to execute and record documents related to the civil design plans and includes a severability clause and effective date provision.
The council’s approval clears the projects to proceed to construction-level activity under the civil designs presented; Forster answered council questions about emergency response coordination and site security. No public comment or formal appeals were recorded at the meeting, and council did not place additional conditions on the approval.
