MOSS LANDING – Legislation that was created in response to fire breaking out in 2022 at the Elkhorn Battery Energy Storage System facility at Moss Landing was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom over the weekend.

Senate Bill 38, authored by State Senator John Laird, D-Santa Cruz, requires battery storage facilities to establish safety and communication protocols.

“I introduced SB38 with my one coauthor, Assembly member (Dawn) Adddis (D-Morro Bay), who was supportive, that basically said ‘battery energy storage facilities located in the state of California and subject to specified safety requirements, have to have an emergency response plan, an emergency action plan, that covers the premises of the battery energy storage facility,’ ” said Laird at a battery energy storage town hall in late September. “Further, I took amendments that said those plans have to be presented to the city and/or county in which that battery energy storage facility is operated or constructed. And it was my goal to have there be a statutory requirement to do safety looking outward that involves the community in the discussion before it is ever an issue.”

Both State Senator Laird’s District 17, and Assembly member Addis’ District 30, include Moss Landing, where battery energy storage exists, and Morro Bay, where battery energy storage is proposed for the Morro Bay power plant. The question of whether or not to allow battery energy storage in Morro Bay will be on the 2024 ballot.

“Battery storage done right is critical to California’s transition to renewable energy sources,” said Assembly member Addis in the release. “To meet the challenge of combating climate change, we must be thoughtful in ensuring the implementation of new technologies is done safely.”

Battery energy storage operations began at the Moss Landing site in late 2020. Today Moss Landing is home to two lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, one run by Vistra Corp Energy Company using LG batteries and the other run by Pacific Gas and Electric using Tesla batteries.
