Battery energy storage system classification (2250 East 69th Street)
Long Beach
Description
Not a project approval — the commission affirmed that battery storage facilities will be treated like electrical substations, requiring CUPs, setting the path for a future Ormat facility near the SCE Lighthype substation.
Impact summary
Clears the regulatory path for large battery facilities that store daytime solar power for evening use, with fire-safety review built into any future project.
