The commission approved a battery energy storage project north of McLaughlin Road and south of Matthews Road, east of San Jacinto Road, and west of Palomar Road. Before approving it, commissioners added two conditions meant to protect residents: the developer must set aside money to safely remove the project if it is ever abandoned, and the Fire Department must be able to dispatch directly to the site in an emergency. The commission also found the project would not have a significant environmental effect based on the adopted environmental review.
