Battery storage project between Escondido and San Marcos meets resistance from some residents. The Seguro Energy Storage project could power 240,00 homes for up to hours, but it's proving to be a hard sell for those who live nearby

A renewable energy company that wants to construct a battery storage project between San Marcos and Escondido has scaled back the footprint of the proposed facility — but judging from reaction at a recent public meeting, many homeowners in the area still don't want it built. Officials at AES, a global Fortune 500 energy company, say the 22.5-acre site for the Seguro Energy Storage Project is located in a prime parcel of private land.

As for concerns about congestion on evacuation routes, AES says the roadway on nearby Milpas Drive will be improved to allow first responders and residents to travel along the street more efficiently. Plus, an alternative access route will be added to the north of the facility so that drivers will have more than one road in and out.
