A second utility grid-scale battery energy storage facility is in the review pipeline at Riverhead Town Hall, with more sure to follow, according to town officials.
EC Battery Storage Project is a proposed 60 megawatt/120 megawatt-hour battery energy storage facility to be built on a 1.7-acre, industrially zoned site on the east side of Edwards Avenue along the LIRR track.
