Vic Battery Burns

A Tesla battery at Victoria’s ‘Big Battery’ site near Geelong burst into flames last week – the latest in a string of battery fires that have plagued major Tesla battery installations.

Burn baby burn

Operated by French renewable energy company Neoen, the big battery site was disconnected from the grid and the fire was contained by the CFA .

No-one was hurt in the fire which began in the early testing phase and Neoen Australia’s managing director Louis de Sambucy said there would be no impact to the electricity supply.

The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
