In reply to Solarman. The batteries used at Moss Landing for the section that was commissioned in Dec. 2020 were confirmed to be LG, but I have not seen any confirmation on the brand used for the Elkhorn section.

This is NOT what some articles have reported. Do you have access to the Megapacks at ElkHorn and see Panasonic cells making up the packs or are you quoting another article that claims the cells are Panasonic instead of LG Energy Solutions?

LG Energy Solutions may have just gotten another black eye with the fire at the PG&E Elk Horn facility. A Megapack burned with LG Chem batteries that may have cells damaged in manufacturing that are just now causing thermal run away failures. IF this is the same situation as the GM Bolt recall, then there are several MWh of battery packs that need to be replaced or just run the site until more or all of the Megapacks burn. It’s starting to look like TESLA needs to lean on Panasonic more and LG less, for future energy storage battery packs.
