Description

A battle is brewing in North County San Diego over a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facility proposed for a 22-acre site just outside the City of Escondido in unincorporated San Diego County near Palomar Hospital. “The ludicrous idea of putting an energy facility like this in the middle of residences is absolutely ridiculous,” said Drew McSparron, whose home sits behind the proposed site in the Eden Valley neighborhood. Residents are pushing back, gathering 2,500 signatures on a petition to stop the Seguro Battery Plant and lining Country Club Drive with dozens of signs adorning phrases like "Stop Seguro" and "AES Sacrifice Zone."
