How you approach fire safety risk management in BESS was a big talking point yesterday at the Battery Asset Management Summit UK & Ireland 2025.

The US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has launched the newest edition of its cornerstone battery storage safety standard, NFPA 855.

Commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage can significantly lower electricity costs, increase efficiency, and aid decarbonisation, but customers’ safety concerns must be addressed.

Energy storage system safety is being taken to new levels, as evidenced by the fire testing efforts of Chinese market players, writes Carrie Xiao.

Drew Bandhauer of Leeward Renewable Energy examines how changes in lithium-ion battery chemistries help manage fire safety risk and how industry standards are evolving in step with technological advances.

A trio of major players in the battery storage system integration space have unveiled recent Large-Scale Fire Testing (LSFT) results.

According to specialist renewable energy insurance company kWh Analytics’ 2025 Solar Risk Assessment, concern around battery energy storage system (BESS) safety has risen following recent fire incidents.

A few months on from the high-profile fire, experts Geoffrey Lehv, Ross Kiddie, and Mark Mirek discuss the evolution of BESS insurance.

Dr. Judy Jeevarajan of UL Research Institutes highlights essential steps to ensure that safer battery storage can be at the heart of the global energy transition.

The energy storage industry needs to ensure safety and performance, and CSA C800-2025 is the standard to fulfil that need.
