The primary objective of this report is to provide an overview of the environmental, health and safety (EHS) permitting requirements that must be considered when developing utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS). . Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, help stabilize electrical grids by providing steady power flow despite fluctuations from inconsistent generation of renewable energy sources and other disruptions. A review of federal and state regulations in selected BESS markets is supported with several BESS case studies to highlight key similarities, differences and trends in EHS permitting. . Draft guidance produced by the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC)for the use of Fire and Rescue Services (FRSs) and planners (July 2024) highlights the risk of fire at BESS sites, detection and monitoring, and suppression system recommendations which should be in place. [4] This guidance is. . The life cycle impacts of long-duration energy storage, such as flow batteries is not well characterized compared to more established energy storage systems, such as lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. This project conducted a comprehensive life cycle assessment – encompassing the materials. . Battery storage environmental assessments are critical for evaluating how these systems affect the environment throughout their life cycle.
