The Sea Cliff Board of Trustees unanimously extended the village’s Battery Energy Storage System moratorium until Jan. 15 at its Monday, Oct. 6, meeting. The board also began discussions on a new moratorium on multi-family dwelling applications in the village.
The village’s BESS moratorium was initially imposed on July 15, 2024, for 12 months. The resolution allowed the board to extend the moratorium for “not more than two periods of three months each” thereafter. Surrounding municipalities, including the City of Glen Cove and Town of Oyster Bay, have implemented similar bans on the battery systems.
