Washington County, Virginia, has enacted a zoning ordinance restricting large-scale battery storage facilities to manufacturing zones. The measure requires special exception approval by the Board of Supervisors to ensure proximity to power infrastructure and control taxpayer costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Local zoning now dictates strict limits on where battery storage can be built in Washington County. If you develop energy storage projects here, secure local approval early to avoid delays and cost overruns.
