Battery Energy Storage Systems: Main
This webpage includes information from first responder and industry guidance as well as background information on battery energy
FACTS: No deaths have resulted from energy storage facilities in the United States. Battery energy storage facilities are very different from consumer electronics, with secure, highly regulated electric infrastructure that use robust codes and standards to guide and maintain safety.
Utility-scale battery energy storage is safe and highly regulated, growing safer as technology advances and as regulations adopt the most up-to-date safety standards. Discover more about energy storage & safety at EnergyStorage.org
Battery energy storage facilities are very different from consumer electronics, with secure, highly regulated electric infrastructure that use robust codes and standards to guide and maintain safety. E-mobility devices have been lightly regulated in the past, and some products have used poor-quality battery cells and ineffective safety systems.
FACTS: Energy storage battery fires are decreasing as a percentage of deployments. Between 2017 and 2022, U.S. energy storage deployments increased by more than 18 times, from 645 MWh to 12,191 MWh1, while worldwide safety events over the same period increased by a much smaller number, from two to 12.
