Pennsylvania HB2692 allows battery energy storage projects as accessory uses for commercial solar facilities.

Pennsylvania HB2692 amends Title 53 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to allow battery energy storage projects as permitted accessory uses for commercial solar facilities. This means that such projects do not require special exceptions or conditional uses from local government units. The bill ensures that these projects comply with all applicable safety and fire codes and regulations. It also specifies that the addition of a battery energy storage project does not affect existing payment obligations or terms related to the solar facility.
