From Midwest to the Nation: How New BESS Legislation Can Accelerate U.S. Clean Energy Development

States across the U.S. are rapidly developing frameworks to support battery energy storage systems (BESS), and the Midwest is emerging as a model for what effective legislation can look like. Illinois’ landmark BESS legislation, paired with major procurement activity, a lifted nuclear facility siting ban, and an improved statewide appeals process, offers insights that can help other states shape their own policies. The result: clearer permitting pathways, stronger community engagement, and the path to clean energy. Join experts from Strategic Economic Research (SER) and Aileron Inc. as they walk through legislation in Illinois, Michigan, New York, and additional states implementing BESS policy frameworks. Our speakers will share permitting takeaways, state-by-state comparisons, community engagement strategies, and the economic impacts associated with modernizing storage policy. Whether you are a developer, policymaker, local official, or advocate, this session will equip you with practical insights to support BESS permitting and development in your state or region.
