A Large Lithium-Ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
Is Proposed for Petaluma
An industrial-scale BESS is not suitable for a scenic open space.
Proposed Siting of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
The Borealis proposed BESS, situated just outside Petaluma’s city limits, is a 300-megawatt installation with three 100 foot towers. It is planned for seventeen acres at 3571 Adobe Road and is directly adjacent to the Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park, designated as both a California Historic Landmark and a National Historic Landmark.
Who We Are
We are independent Petaluma residents who have done extensive research on lithium-ion BESS facilities. We have concluded that BESS pose serious potential threats and risks to our lives, our homes and our environment.
We support the transition to renewable energy but it needs to be done responsibly and sited a safe distance from communities.
Requirements for Environmental Impact Reports have been placed on the Borealis Battery Energy Storage Systems permit application.
