December 19, a fire broke out in a battery energy storage device in Warwick, New York, USA. The local government said the fire was caused by water seeping into the energy storage battery system, which was also the main cause of another energy storage power station fire in 2023.
As of 5:00 a.m. on December 22, the fire was still burning and firefighters could not put it out completely.
It is reported that the facility is operated by Convergent Energy and Power, a distributed and industrial and commercial energy storage project developer based in New York, after Convergent promised to restart the project with a "waterproof" new battery after the fire accident in 2023. And assured the community that such an incident would not happen again, only to find that two years later, the same defect was repeated.
