The reports I read said this was an older installation - was that one setup in the same way as a modern plant would be done? That is to say - was there anything unique about this failure scenario?
The pictures I saw was that the Moss batteries were located inside a building. My mental image of battery storage is freight-sized containers offset from each other - presumably to minimize fire risk. Or was this plant a common dense configuration that is done in areas where they are heavily space constrained?

It started construction back in 2019 which is near ancient in terms of how fast the BESS industry has evolved. Utilizing NMC cells which were popular at the time instead of the more stable LFP variety making up the vast majority of storage projects today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss_Landing_Power_Plant#Battery_energy_storage_facilities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moss_Landing_Power_Plant#Batte...
