ENGIE North America Coastal Development and Conditional Use Permit Extension Record Number: PLN-2024-18924 Assessor Parcel Number: 401-121-011 Fairhaven area A two-year extension to a previously approved Coastal Development Permit and Conditional Use Permit (PLN-2022-17973) for a new Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facility to capture and manage renewable energy. The project will be located in the footprint of an existing renewable energy generation facility and would interconnect to the existing Fairhaven Biomass Substation, and would have connection to PG&E. The project would include the placement of battery energy storage enclosures and power conversion system units. Approximately 50 employees would be required during the construction phase. Once constructed, the facility would be unstaffed and would include remote operational control. Inspections and maintenance would occur as necessary. The extension is needed due to the need for additional time to complete electrical and engineering drawings for submittal for building permits. The applicant (Broad Reach Power, LLC) has changed ownership since the existing permit approval and the new applicant is ENGIE North America. If approved, the extension will expire March 27, 2025.
