Holbrook resident Gabrielle Corso speaks against the plant during a public meeting. the state to achieve a nation-leading six gigawatts of energy storage by 2030.”

Several speakers at the meeting expressed worry about the plant’s proximity to schools.

“It’s very, very concerning to us,” said Robert Scavo, president of the Sachem Central School District board. He said the board hadn’t been informed of the plan until eight weeks ago, though it’s been under review by the state Public Service Commission since March and Brookhaven’s Planning Board held a hearing on it in January. The proposed facility is 0.6 miles from a middle school.

“It creates a problem for the evacuation of our students,” Scavo said.

Scavo said if the facility isn’t nixed by public opposition, the school board is considering filing an appeal of the PSC approval, which was granted earlier this month, or a court injunction to block construction. “This is a number-one priority” for the board, he said of blocking the proposed plant, “which really harms our students and our schools.”

The Brookhaven Town Planning Board has approved a site plan for the facility, but issued no construction or other permits. Documents filed by Savion for its Holtsville Energy Storage

LLC note that Brookhaven Town “formally adopted a Battery Energy Storage System Zoning Code” in February 2020 that paved the way for such facilities.

Southampton and Southold have moratoriums on battery storage development.

Earlier this week, Brookhaven Town Councilman Neil Foley said the proposed location is zoned industrial and the town can’t block the project on zoning grounds. He noted a Jan. 23 Planning Board public hearing was sparsely attended. “This type of energy is going to be the way of the future, but we have to make sure it’s safe,” he said.

Savion’s facility may not be the only battery storage facility in the area. LIPA is reviewing a separate, even larger proposal, for two batteries totaling up to 150 megawatts at the same substation.

Corso, the resident who spoke at the meeting, said the state and energy companies have a lot more work to do before placing such large, untested facilities in residential neighborhoods.

“Holtsville and Holbrook should not be used as a case study for this,” she said. “I feel like this area is just getting bombarded. Other towns are hitting the pause button, so I think we should follow suit.”
