A fire at Vistra Corp.'s Moss Landing battery storage complex in California, one of the largest in the world, prompted local officials to declare a state of emergency and evacuate around 1,200 residents after a fire suppression system failed. The cause of the fire, detected in the 300-megawatt section, remains unknown, and while air monitoring showed no immediate harm to the public, concerns about toxic gas emissions were raised. This incident marks the worst fire at the facility since 2019, with significant implications for both Vistra and the utility-scale battery industry.
