Safety is our #1 core value at Lightsource bp, guiding all that we do<\/span> from project development through construction and operations. Our battery energy storage system (BESS) projects are no different. Keep reading to l<\/span>earn how we ensure safe<\/span> and <\/span>reliable energy storage systems in the USA.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

Energy storage is regulated and reliable<\/h2>\n
\n

Like all electrical infrastructure, utility-scale battery energy storage systems are highly regulated, with rigorous codes and standards developed by international, U.S. and local experts. Utility-scale batteries that deliver energy into the grid must be certified and go through extensive testing before being deployed, with requirements far beyond those for most commercially available batteries used for consumer applications. <\/span><\/p>\n

We design, construct and operate our energy storage systems in accordance with all relevant national and international standards and procedures, proven to keep these sites safe.\u00a0 These include the<\/span> International Fire Code (IFC), International Building Code (IBC), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
