California Battery Energy Storage Safety Recommendations

The energy storage industry is committed to working with state and local agencies to address concerns raised by the Moss Landing incident and promote safety at all battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities. The industry supports the development of new safety standards and rules for BESS to minimize both the likelihood of future incidents and the risks to communities and first responders if they do occur. The California Energy Storage Alliance (CESA) and American Clean Power (ACP), with input from numerous member companies, have collaborated closely to develop these preliminary recommendations.
