Following the Moss Landing Battery Plant fire, Assemblywoman Dawn Addis has introduced the Battery Energy Safety & Accountability Act (AB 303). This legislation seeks to remove battery energy storage facilities from the state's opt-in certification program, granting local communities authority over new installations. It also proposes significant limitations on the siting of battery facilities, recommending a 3,200-foot buffer from sensitive areas to protect environments and communities. This is supported by Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church, advocating for a more organized regulatory framework in this growing industry.
