End-of-life battery solar container policy document

This technical brief discusses the basic decommissioning process and considerations that are common to renewable and lithium ion battery technologies, lists possible actions at the point of technology procure-ment, then describes technology-specific procedures once assets reach. Mandatory requirements that vary across jurisdictions, which govern the generation, handling, storage, treatment, transport, recycling, and disposal of hazardous solid wastes, which may include PV modules and large-format LiBs accumulated or stored before recycling, or disposal and those being. Deployment of new renewable and battery energy storage technologies, or creation of fleet replace-ment strategies using these technologies, should consider the new asset’s decommissioning and end-of-life (EoL) management requirements. By April 2019, thirty six (36) industry leaders signed a pledge “to engage in a good-faith effort to optimize performance, minimize risk and serve as an exemplary corporate citizen in the manufacturing, deployment, implementation, and operation of energy storage projects across the United States”. On November 1, 2023, the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (“PURA”) issued a final Decision in Docket No. In this decision, PURA determined that a proactive approach is needed to resolve. Descriptions of legal requirements and rules governing the disposition of Li-ion battery systems are for general awareness purposes only, and parties should consult with legal advisors concerning liability and other issues associated with the end-of-life management of energy storage systems. Currently, a decommissioning plan is generally required as part of the permit application for a new BESS project.
