Safety of battery energy storage

4 FAQs about [Safety of battery energy storage]

Are battery energy storage facilities safe?

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.

What is a battery energy storage safety program?

It emphasizes collaboration with fire departments, safety experts, policymakers, and regulators to implement safety recommendations. The goal is to ensure the safe and reliable performance of battery energy storage systems as critical power grid infrastructure.

What are the EASE Guidelines for battery energy storage systems?

On 27 May 2025, over 200 participants attended the webinar on the "EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems". The Guidelines are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) stabilize the electrical grid, ensuring a steady flow of power to homes and businesses regardless of fluctuations from varied energy sources or other disruptions. However, fires at some BESS installations have caused concern in communities considering BESS as a method to support their grids.
