A Tesla Megapack has caught on fire at a giant battery project operated by PG&E in Monterey County in California. In April, PG&E launched the Elkhorn Battery Storage facility in Monterey County, the largest Tesla Megapack project to date. The project consists of 256 Tesla Megapack battery units on 33 concrete slabs for a total capacity of 730 MWh.
In 2016, Electrek obtained the test results that Tesla got from setting fire to a Powerpack, which was the predecessor of the Megapack. The goal was to make sure that the fire didn’t propagate to other battery packs around the device since they are often in large groups in utility-scale energy storage projects.
A report released Friday by a clean-energy trade group spells out best practices for safe use of large-scale battery energy storage systems following a major fire at a battery facility early this year.
Battery energy storage is a fast-growing segment of the nation's electricity system, allowing power utilities to make better use of intermittent renewable energy from wind and solar power and to improve grid resilience.
With large volumes, some battery fires are inevitable, but Tesla has put a lot of effort into making sure they don’t result in too much damage. In 2016, Electrek obtained the test results that Tesla got from setting fire to a Powerpack, which was the predecessor of the Megapack.
