Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
Safety remains at the heart of energy storage innovation. The adoption of updated fire codes, such as New York’s 2024 guidelines requiring emergency response plans and advanced fire suppression systems, emphasizes the industry’s evolving approach to risk mitigation.
