On September 18, the Moss Landing Energy Storage Power Station in Monterey County, California, caught fire again. The fire point was the damaged battery area that had not been completely cleared since the catastrophic fire in 2025. The accident did not cause casualties. On January 16, 2025, a fire broke out in
the power station, and flames appeared in the wall of the burned building. About 1200 battery modules, which were still charged and inaccessible, spontaneously combusted.
Moss Landing Energy Storage Power Station is invested and operated by Vistra Energy, relying on PG & & E. The decommissioned gas-fired power plant site is renovated, and the batteries are supplied by LG New Energy. The total installed capacity of
the project is planned to be 750 MW/3000 MWh, and the peak period is the largest single lithium energy storage power station in the world. The first fire accident occurred in the power station since September 4, 2021, and this is the fifth fire accident in five years.
