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.

Scientists have linked a lithium battery plant fire in California earlier this month to a surge in heavy metals found in nearby soil.

One of the biggest cleanup challenges from the Southern California fires is lithium-ion batteries, which can explode after damage or exposure to heat. The batteries are found in electric vehicles, which abounded in some burned neighborhoods, including Pacific Palisades.

Elevated concentrations of heavy metals have been detected at the Elkhorn Slough Reserve by scientists following a recent fire at Vistra Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility.

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.

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

The Monterey County Board of Supervisors declared a state of emergency following the massive blaze that has residents and officials concerned.

After a fire at a Monterey County battery storage facility, scientists say high levels of heavy metals were found at a nearby estuary, a home to endangered species.

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

Officials have begun testing water and soil after a fire at one of the world's largest lithium battery storage facilities.
