The Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors is set to update findings from the Moss Landing battery storage fire. A watchdog group is discussing a proposal for stricter regulations on plant operations. State regulators are advocating for enhanced safety standards and community involvement in site selection for battery plants, especially emphasizing distance from environmentally vulnerable areas. Researchers at San Jose State University discovered hazardous heavy metals in nearby soil, prompting discussions on the implications of such storage facilities, particularly in crisis situations.
This is an opportunity to understand what will happen in a large battery storage facility burning what we can do to understand the consequences of such an event.
The proposal would bring new safety standards for the maintenance and operation of battery storage facilities, and add oversight on emergency response action plans.
