Glen Cove City Council approves one-year extension for battery energy storage system moratorium

The Glen Cove City Council approved an additional 12-month moratorium on battery energy storage systems and promoted two police officers at its Tuesday, April 14, meeting.

The council unanimously approved a ban on any application for a battery energy storage system, which the city defines as a facility that holds electrochemical devices that charge or collect energy from a power grid and then discharge that energy to parcels, facilities, dwellings, or utilities serviced by that grid.
