The Vistra Energy plant is one of the largest battery storage facilities in the world. Contains tens of thousands of lithium batteries, which are used to store electricity from solar energy and other sources.

Monterey County authorities ordered an evacuation the night of Jan. 16 because of a fire that broke out at a battery storage facility on the coast of Central California, which the company says is the largest in the world. Politico reported this on Friday, January 17.

Evacuation was announced in eight districts of the district.

“The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, but an investigation will begin once the fire is out,” said company spokeswoman Jenny Lyon.

The Monterey County Sheriff had earlier urged residents to close their windows “as a precaution.” The California Highway Patrol also closed Highway 1 near the station.

The storage facility has a capacity of 750 megawatts, which is enough for 562,000 homes for four hours.

It was previously reported that Los Angeles found itself under a “pink blanket” due to firefighting aircraft using special fire-retardant mixtures to fight large fires.

Note that wildfires in the Pacific Palisades area of ​​Los Angeles are only 22% contained. More than 9,500 hectares of land were burned. People are not allowed to return because of the severe fire.
