On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the Bannock County Commissioners heard a presentation from representatives of Renewable Northwest (Home | Renewable Northwest) and RWE (RWE | Our energy for a sustainable life.) who discussed Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
According to Chairman Jeff Hough, referring to how the meeting came about, “Aaron (with Renewable Northwest) approached me a few months ago about renewable energy stuff, and one of the things that we don’t know very much about is Battery Energy Storage Systems. And so, when Aaron reached out to me about a month ago to say we had an expert in the field coming, an expert I’m assuming. So, we’re, I, I want to take the opportunity to have a meeting to, to learn a little bit more.”
