🚨 UPDATE: East Side Battery Storage Project (SP2025-094)
The Commission voted 6–1 to hold the case over for 30 days, requiring:
✅ another neighborhood meeting (with UG staff present) - RiSE4EJ Involved in breaking down  the life cycle of the project
✅ Additional review of Kansas requirements
✅ more time for public access to application materials
During public comment, neighbors urged that emergency response planning and long-term safety information be fully addressed before approval, and another raised concerns that energy cost impacts for residents and the lack of clear utility commitments were not resolved.
RiSE4EJ supports clean energy, but we do not support moving major projects forward without full transparency, meaningful engagement, and clear protections for public health and costs. 
📌 This case will return on March 9, 2026.
We will continue showing up with neighbors to demand accountability.
