CPUC Issues Proposal to Enhance Safety of Battery Energy Storage Facilities
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) took action today to enhance the safety of battery energy storage facilities, and their related emergency response plans, by issuing a proposal that, if approved, would, among other things: 1) implement Senate Bill (SB) 1383 to establish new standards for the maintenance and operation of battery energy storage facilities, and 2) increase oversight over emergency response action plans for battery energy storage facilities. If approved, the proposal will enhance the safety of battery energy storage facilities, which play a crucial role in California’s transition away from fossil fuels. Concurrently, CPUC staff is investigating the recent fire at the Vistra battery energy storage facility.
