Cloud Cap Battery Energy Storage System

A 57.4-acre rezone that's step one for a battery storage facility near the Sun Valley substation. Invenergy says it would bring up to 200 construction jobs, 4-8 permanent jobs, and about $75 million in tax revenue over the project's life. A conditional use permit hearing is still to come.
