These new battery safety standards require collaboration on emergency response, offer local communities state expertise, limit batteries to outdoor facilities and noncombustible buildings, and complement additional safety measures already taken by the state fire marshal and CPUC. #MossLandingFire🔋🔥
California has enacted new fire safety standards for grid batteries. This comes after the most destructive battery fire in U.S. history damaged about 55 percent of 100,000 lithium-ion battery modules at the Vistra facility in Moss Landing in January 2025.

California has a new law to prevent big grid battery fires
The state enhanced battery safety rules in response to the Moss Landing fire. The industry is on board, hoping better standards will reassure the public.

One of three major lawsuits.. #MossLandingFire bsky.app/profile/dust...
Update on policy fallout.. The lawsuit is on behalf of residents and led by Erin Brockovich. #MossLandingFire 🔋🔥
bsky.app/profile/dust...
That makes this lawsuit, Monterey County urgency ordinance/temporary moratorium, new CPUC safety regulations, proposed legislation w/setbacks, site restrictions, and to remove batteries from CEC Opt-In process that bypassed local control, and Orange County and Morro Bay urgency/temporary moratoria.

“My first reaction is that it’s probably something less about negligence and more about just our learning curve of safety,” Mulvaney said. Batteries of this size “are not simple machines, and we don’t know all the ways they catch on fire.” santacruzlocal.org/2025/01/17/r... #MossLandingFire🔌💡

I know right where this is. The old Moss Landing Power Plant seems to have become a large energy storage area full of Lithium batteries that are now on fire! 😳😷

Along with vast fields of vegetables (as noted here ⬇️) there are waves, surfers, farm workers, animals and many other sentient beings. 😢
🚨UPDATE on CA Lithium Battery Plant fire near "Salad Bowl of America" (produces 70% of our greens)

-Residents have nosebleeds, lung burning, headache, rash, metallic mouth taste

-Health official says not testing soil bc "we don't necessarily know what we're looking for"
