Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Opposition in New York, and Nationwide

You have the right to protect yourself, your family, friends, and neighbors from the dangers of BESS facility fires and explosions, their emissions of toxic gases, and the environmental contamination commonly linked to BESS fires and failures, which happen more often than most people realize.

You also have the right to fight to compel your local government to enact and enforce zoning requirements and restrictions within its zoning code or ordinance, to protect your home and community against the irresponsible placement of such facilities.

As a municipality, you have the authority to pass local laws and zoning regulations to safeguard your communities and constituents from the irresponsible siting of these facilities and the risks they pose.

Finally, whether you are an individual, a group, or a municipality, you have the right to retain legal counsel to protect your interests, guide you in the exercising of your rights, and ensure that you are not misled, deceived, or intimidated into granting an application for the installation of a BESS facility that would adversely impact your homes and communities.

At Campanelli & Associates, P.C., we provide representation to individuals, associations, and municipalities who wish to exercise their rights to protect their property, friends, families, and neighbors from the adverse effects of having a BESS facility installed in close proximity to their homes, properties, or within their community.
