SB 283 – Clean Energy Safety Act of 2025

Clean Energy Safety Act of 2025:

Last week I introduced the Clean Energy Safety Act of 2025, SB 283, alongside the CA Professional Firefighters and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) to increase battery storage safety standards. The bill mandates that new facilities adhere to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855 standards – the most comprehensive and widely recognized guidelines for battery storage safety and hazard mitigation. SB 283 provides a crucial tool and safeguard to ensure battery storage facilities are built and maintained with the highest level of safety and oversight by our local fire officials.
