Syracuse, NY Moves Toward a BESS Moratorium: Solutions for Community Safety Concerns

Another city in New York is moving toward a battery storage moratorium after residents raised concerns about fire and gas risk. Moratoriums are helpful in establishing safety procedures and standards, but councils should look beyond setback requirements or blanket bans. These pauses should investigate technologies that deliver the benefits of BESS while preventing fire and hazardous gas release.
