The Glen Cove City Council unanimously passed local laws requiring a one-year moratorium on battery energy-storage system facilities and limiting “unreasonable noises” at its Tuesday, May 13, meeting.
Glen Cove Mayor Pam Panzenbeck said the council has been discussing the battery energy-storage system facilities moratorium for a while and that “now is the time to do it.” Neighboring municipalities, like the Town of Oyster Bay, have passed similar laws in response to the budding technology.
