South Korea’s government said investigators need more time to discover the cause of a series of energy storage system (ESS) fires— and a temporary manufacturing ban continues for several manufacturers.
More than 20 ESS units across the country went up in flames over the past year, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Motie) has confirmed.
The government asked public institutions, large multi-purpose facilities and domestic ESS users to stop using their devices as a temporary safety measure.
