Legislation that was created in response to fire breaking out in 2022 at the Elkhorn Battery Energy Storage System facility at Moss Landing was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom over the weekend…
Senate Bill 38, authored by State Sen. John Laird, D-Santa Cruz, requires battery storage facilities to develop an emergency response plan, in close coordination with local emergency response agencies, to establish a notification and communication procedure, and consider potential off-site impacts to the surrounding community and environment. Plans will be submitted to the county and city where the facility is located.
“Battery storage done right is critical to California’s transition to renewable energy sources,” said Assembly member Addis in the release. “To meet the challenge of combating climate change, we must be thoughtful in ensuring the implementation of new technologies is done safely.” Both Vistra incidents were caused by water leak events from its mitigation system. This led to grounding, arcing and localized smoke.
