Battery storage: nothing has surfaced

No battery energy storage project in Hunterdon County has surfaced in any of the records we can search, as of August 9, 2026. The worry got here before the projects did.

We checked the PJM grid interconnection queue, which every transmission-scale battery has to enter, and the only Hunterdon entry there, a 20 megawatt project at the Warren Glen switch point, was withdrawn on November 23, 2016. We checked the state's own storage awards, and none of the three projects the Board of Public Utilities approved on March 4, 2026 is in Hunterdon. We checked the Hunterdon County Development Review Committee referral log, which municipal boards send major applications to, through its July 16, 2026 posting, plus the online agendas for the two townships with active industrial applications, and no battery application has reached either. That is the honest shape of the zero: a smaller, town-level filing on a local road could exist without appearing in any of those places, because it would not enter the PJM queue, would not need a state award, and would not have to be referred to the county.

Every site, and what the record actually says

What else is going on around this

The one battery listing for Hunterdon points to an apartment complex

A clean-energy project database lists a 20 megawatt battery called Justin Court Energy Storage as operating in Hunterdon County since February 2024. We went looking for the address. There is one Justin Court in Hunterdon County: 200 Justin Court in Flemington, in Raritan Township, which is The Willows at Flemington Junction North, an 84-unit affordable-housing complex, corroborated on RentCafe, Apartments.com, Zillow and Homes.com. No operating generator sits at that address in the federal EIA-860 or EIA-923 plant data, in PJM's generation records, or on New Jersey's Clean Energy Program project lists. The database row appears to be an error, so it gets no pin and no place in the count above. If you know otherwise, tell us.

The biggest warehouse plan in county history was never filed

In late 2023 ExxonMobil sought rezoning of its research and engineering campus in Clinton Township, roughly 757 acres, for about 2.1 million square feet of warehouse. The township did not rezone, no application was ever filed, and in May 2024 ExxonMobil announced it would close the campus by 2028. The land sits unsold and undeveloped. It is a watch item, not a case, so it is not on the map.

Clinton Township bans warehouses outright in one zone

Clinton Township's zoning code prohibits warehouse and distribution uses in its C-ROM district, the commercial, research, office and manufacturing zone, at Chapter 165, Article XXIV. The code gives its own reason: those uses cannot be adequately supported by the township's road infrastructure. We could not confirm which ordinance adopted the prohibition or when, so no date is given here.

Storage buildings are not on this map

Two self-storage projects are moving through boards here: a 126,672 square foot three-story self-storage building at 116 River Road in Raritan Township, which the planning board lists as approved on July 22, 2026 for a preliminary site plan only, and a storage facility with offices at 420 Route 31 in West Amwell Township, still in completeness review. Neither is a distribution warehouse and neither brings the truck traffic this page is about, so neither is pinned.

Why people are asking about battery storage now

New Jersey is pushing hard on grid batteries. Governor Sherrill's Executive Order No. 2, signed January 20, 2026, told the Board of Public Utilities to speed up transmission-scale battery storage, and on March 4, 2026 the board approved the first tranche of storage incentives, three projects totalling 355 megawatts. All three are in other counties, and none of it has produced a filing in Hunterdon yet.

How this was checked

Sites come from municipal planning and zoning board agendas, minutes and resolutions, the Hunterdon County Development Review Committee referral log, and local news reporting, all linked on each card above, though most of the county's 26 towns post their agendas as scanned PDFs that no search engine reads, so this is a record of what surfaced in those sources rather than a board-by-board review. A site is only listed once a source names it, and the status word on each card is the word its source uses. Distances are worked out in your browser, and nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere except to look up the coordinates. 1 of the 3 pins sits at an approximate centroid rather than a surveyed point, so treat a distance within about half a mile as the same distance. Anything filed after August 9, 2026 is not here yet, so send it in below.

Know of a warehouse or battery storage plan we don't have?

Tell us the town and what you heard. We check it against the board's own record before it becomes a pin, and we will not put your name on it.
