Mature Industry and Proven Technology
Battery storage has been DEPLOYED FOR DECADES, and today, the technology is tested, proven safe and comes with a set of national and international BEST PRACTICES for fire prevention.
The industry has learned the lessons from the technology’s infancy so that today’s operations have FLAWLESS TRACK RECORDS.
CONTAIN
BESS design within containerized systems, deflagration panels.
BUFFER
Reduce vegetation immediately surrounding the BESS container; to be addressed in the Landscaping Plan.
NATIONAL FIRE STANDARDS
Wherever we operate, we partner with local, regional and state first responders to ensure they are well educated in International’s Fire safety protocols for energy storage systems.
PREVENT
Control systems, physical design, procedures.
DETECT
Monitors for gas or smoke.
SUPPRESS
Sprinkler systems or use of inert gases.
Industry leading sourcing & recycling
Our projects responsibly dispose or recycle all materials after the life of the project.
Components will be removed from the site to be reused or recycled, or they will be disposed of at appropriately licensed disposal facilities. The project land will be reclaimed and revegetated, consistent with its expected future use.
“Large-scale battery storage is a critical step on the path to reliable and affordable clean-energy solutions. Clean energy and clean air are important to the health of our communities and the lands and water upon which all life depends.”
