Fire destroys a large part of the Moss Landing battery installation

node

A fire in the Vistra-operated building housing the older phase of the Moss Landing battery complex on Monterey Bay burns for days, destroys a large fraction of that phase, and forces evacuation orders in the surrounding area. It became the reference incident in subsequent debate over grid battery siting and design — specifically the difference between racking large numbers of cells inside a single occupied building and distributing them across separated outdoor enclosures, which is how more recent installations are built. The record here states the incident and not its cause: investigation findings were not available to this session.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
