ZHO Recommendation to Approve  
T-2-2026 Proposed Text Amendments: Request to proceed with a public hearing before  
the DuPage County Zoning Board of Appeals to consider proposed Text Amendments  
T-2-2026.  
The proposed amendments will update the zoning ordinance to be in compliance with  
Public Act 104-0458 (55 ILCS 5/5-12024), Energy Storage Systems (ESS), which  
requires “…(e) A county with an existing zoning ordinance in conflict with this Section  
shall amend that zoning ordinance to comply with this Section within 120 days after the  
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly.”  
The proposed amendments will establish zoning regulations for Energy Storage Systems  
consistent with State law. Under the Act, an Energy Storage System is defined as “a  
facility with an aggregate energy capacity that is greater than 1,000 kilowatts and that is  
capable of absorbing energy and storing it for use at a later time, including, but not  
limited to, electrochemical and electromechanical technologies. "Energy storage system"  
does not include technologies that require combustion. "Energy storage system" also does  
not include energy storage systems associated with commercial solar energy facilities or  
commercial wind energy facilities as defined in Section 5-12020.”
