Comstock Township's Planning Commission approved permits for a 400 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) development by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and partners on a former golf course after years of delays and community opposition. The approval includes land use permission, site plan approval, compliance with new BESS regulations, and a Community Host Agreement with financial commitments to the township.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Battery energy storage developers have cleared a major permitting hurdle in Comstock Township, opening local market access for large-scale green energy projects. You need to engage early with township authorities on community and safety concerns to position your project for a smoother approval.
