PG&E has postponed the reactivation of its Moss Landing battery storage facility after discovering a leak during testing. Following a fire at the adjacent Vistra Energy facility in January, safety inspections were conducted in collaboration with Tesla. Local officials, including Assemblymember Dawn Addis, support the decision for repairs and have advocated for a full report on safety planning measures before reactivation. Community leaders emphasize the need for thorough investigation into previous incidents before resuming operations.
"What we found in our phased approach and conservative testing approach to bring the system back online is exactly why we take such a measured approach, right, so we can identify any kind of equipment issues and ensure the safe operation of this facility."
"I sent a letter last week asking that PG&E stay completely offline until they have submitted their full report for emergency planning under SB38 that I co-authored, as well as share the results of their own independent investigation post Moss Landing fire."
