PUBLIC OPINION: San Benito County Is Pushing Longroad Energy Toward State Approval — And Taxpayers Could Pay the Price
PUBLIC OPINION: San Benito County Is Pushing Longroad Energy Toward State Approval — And Taxpayers Could Pay the Price San Benito County, California, is pushing Longroad Energy's proposed Allium Solar and Battery Energy Storage Project towards state approval. The project would generate 110 megawatts of solar energy, provide 110 megawards of battery storage, create construction jobs, and generate substantial property and sales tax revenues. However, the county has imposed a moratorium on battery energy storage projects, leaving significant private investment in limbo. Freeman argues that Longroad has another option in AB 205, creating an alternative permitting process allowing renewable energy developers to seek project approval directly from the California Energy Commission. The American Lung Association states that approximately 400,000 Americans die each year from pollution caused by fossil fuel power plants. Freeman urges local leaders to lead locally and help ensure the project benefits.
