The fire broke out on Wednesday at the 250MW Gateway Energy Storage facility owned by grid infrastructure developer LS Power in San Diego.
the fire has twice re-ignited and has now caused “major damage” to the building, including burning through part of the roof, prompting evacuation orders to be reinstated.
The California fire department said that “harmful gases” were making access an issue for firefighters.
It has taken 40 firefighters to contain the blaze, it said.
