Board extends moratorium on utility‑scale battery storage through Aug. 31, 2027

Dec 23, 2025

The Jackson County Board approved resolution 1157-12-23-2025 to extend a moratorium on utility‑scale battery storage systems until Aug. 31, 2027 while the zoning commission completes ordinance work; the motion passed by voice vote.

The full story

Beth, the county zoning official, asked the board to extend a moratorium on utility‑scale battery storage systems because Jackson County has not yet adopted ordinances for utility‑scale uses and the uses raise "significant land use infrastructure and safety considerations." She recommended extending the existing moratorium to Aug. 31, 2027 to allow the zoning commission time to complete comprehensive regulations.
