Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
According to project owner Vistra Energy, active flames were no longer observed after the second day of the fire, but some smouldering was still being seen on 22 January, when the company last updated its webpage dedicated to the incident.
"Historically speaking, there have been very few fires at grid-scale energy storage facilities," Roberts said. The ACP report includes an assessment of incidents by the Fire and Risk Alliance, an engineering and consulting company, that looked into 35 fire incidents at U.S. battery systems between 2012 and 2024.
Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) failures. Other Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks incidents that do not fit the criteria for the first table. This could include failures involving the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling of energy storage.
