The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has entered into a settlement agreement with IPP LS Power to direct cleanup after a lithium-ion battery fire at the company’s Gateway energy storage facility in San Diego, California. 

A recent fire event at a large-scale battery storage project owned by California utility San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) was dealt with effectively and in an exemplary manner.

Updating the New York Fire Code for battery storage will increase the safety and standardisation of installations in the state, with lessons learned from previous incidents, Energy-Storage.news has heard.

A liquid coolant leak caused thermal runaway in battery cells which started a fire at the 300MW/450MWh Victorian Big Battery in Australia.
