EPRI database shows 11 incidents in the US for grid scale systems, 9 of which occurred during the operational phase within the first 2 years [1] 7 incidents occurred in the US, 2 in France, 1 in Australia and 1 in Taiwan [1] The Inter-Agency Fire Safety Working Group was established in New York to ensure the safety and security of energy storage systems across the state of New York [2] The number of incidents per year has remained steady despite the commissioning of 99 GWh of energy storage in 2023, roughly double the amount added in 2022, but most of these systems are still relatively young [3]
