Oyster Bay Town Board hears resident concerns as it looks to extend battery energy storage system moratorium again

Several Town of Oyster Bay residents expressed concerns about battery energy storage systems on Wednesday, March 24, at a hearing held as the town board considers a 12-month moratorium on approving them, following a series of six-month moratoriums. 

Michael Montesano, the special counsel to the town attorney’s office, said that, aside from the duration, the ban now being considered is the same as the current one.
