A fire has broken out at a California power plant that houses one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in the world.
The fire started in a building containing lithium-ion batteries Thursday afternoon, a Monterey County Sheriff’s Office official said.
The Moss Landing power plant, run by Vistra Corp, was evacuated, as were people in the surrounding area. No injuries were reported.
Officials are not actively fighting the fire, the Monterey Sheriff’s spokesman said, and are instead letting the building and batteries burn on the advice of fire experts.
