An Apple-backed battery storage project at California Solar Flats in southern Monterey County is poised to go ahead after key permits were issued by county officials last month.

Approved by the Board of Supervisors in June last year, the $60 million project calls for constructing a battery energy storage system using 85 Tesla mega-pack batteries on a three-acre portion of the 2,170-acre, 130-megawatt Cal Solar Flats operation owned by Capital Dynamics and located on a 72,000-acre Hearst Corporation-owned ranch about 25 miles northeast of Paso Robles and seven miles southwest of Parkfield.
