One of the biggest clean-up challenges from the Southern California fires is lithium-ion batteries, which can explode after damage or exposure to heat.

When a massive fire erupted at one of the world's largest lithium-ion battery storage facilities in Monterey County, it didn't just send a toxic plume of smoke over nearby communities — it cast a shadow of doubt over the future of California's clean energy industry.

In the wake of the recent fire at Vistra Corporation's Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility, the California Public Utilities Commission has proposed new standards for battery energy storage facilities.

What authorities described as one of the largest lithium-ion battery cleanups ever is underway in Los Angeles County neighborhoods destroyed by the Eaton and Palisades fires.

The CPUC will vote on a proposal adopting new safety standards for the maintenance and operation of battery energy storage systems.

The massive fire at one of the world's largest lithium battery storage plants in Northern California has shaken a local community worried about possible long-term impacts and brought scrutiny to the emerging industry's safety practices.

A fire at the world’s largest battery storage plant in Northern California is smoldering after sending plumes of toxic smoke into the atmosphere.

The blaze at Moss Landing in Monterey County, California may have been worse because of the plant’s design and the types of batteries used.

The fire confirmed the worst fears of a Central Coast community where a new battery farm is planned, writes SLO.

This recent fire highlights not only the immediate environmental effects but also the long-term implications for the role of lithium-ion technology in renewable energy.
