Two petitions are underway to block Plus Power from constructing an energy storage facility in Saline County, Texas. The proposed site is an 11-acre plot near the Southeast of Saline K-12 school, with concerns raised about the visual impact of storage containers and health implications for local students.

The facility aims to store energy during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper, enhancing grid reliability. A decision on the conditional use permit is anticipated in early 2026.
