South Orange County residents decry proposal to build battery storage facility

A battle is brewing in south Orange County over a proposed lithium battery storage facility in San Juan Capistrano.

"The initial designs of this project make it look a little like the port of LA and Long Beach in Laguna Niguel with 1100 shipping containers," said David Raslowsky of Laguna Niguel

But in 2022, the city of San Juan Capistrano rejected the renewable company's application for the project. That's when Compass Energy Solutions decided to bypass the city's approval process and go straight the California Energy Commission. "Where the property sits it is a one way street in and out if a fire was to happen there you would have deaths," said Patricia Cabada a resident of San Juan Capistrano.
