Energy asset failures, found daily and sourced.
Battery storage, solar, wind and grid. Every incident we can find in public reporting, written up with what happened, why, the lessons for other operators, and the sources behind it, with the site and the companies named as the reporting names them. Free to read and free by email. Subscribers get the structured record: manufacturer, integrator, cause, failure mode, capacity, downtime, losses and every source, as fields you can filter, count and export.
Public reporting is searched every day and the archive is worked through year by year, so the register grows every day. If the incident you are looking for is not here yet, take the free alerts and you will be told when it is.

The free register tells you what happened. The verified record tells you what failed, why, and what it cost.
Every entry on the public register names the site and the companies as the public reporting names them, and never an individual person. The verified record behind it turns that reporting into structured fields, cross-checked against the sources, for subscribers.
One real entry, EIR-0011, the McMicken battery storage explosion in Surprise, Arizona, shown both ways.

Each incident is drafted into a structured record and marked unverified, single source, or verified when two independent sources agree.
Review
Every draft is reviewed against its sources before publication and given a tier: confirmed, or provisional while reporting is still thin. Provisional entries are rechecked as new reports appear. The structured record stays with subscribers.

Straight answers.
Is the register really free?
Yes. The register, the insights, the statistics and the email alerts are free and will stay free. Paid plans add the structured record behind each entry.
Where does the verified data come from?
Public sources only: fire service reports, regulator filings, court records, operator statements and trade press. Every record links its sources and shows its verification status. See the methodology and the accuracy disclaimer.
Is this written by AI?
Most entries are found in public reporting and drafted by language models, then reviewed by a separate model pass against the same sources before anything is published. Every field has to be supported by a cited source, and a model is never asked what it knows about an incident, only what a given source says. The methodology page sets out each step and the rules they work under.
Does naming a site or supplier mean they were at fault?
No. A verified record records public facts about an incident. It is not a judgement of fault, quality or liability, and the register does not investigate or assign blame.
Can I submit an incident anonymously?
You give us your details so we can check the submission, but they are never published and are protected by database access rules. The published entry is anonymised. Submit an incident.
Who runs the register?
It is independently run and self-funded. Editorial decisions sit with the editor and are not influenced by any operator, vendor or service provider. About the register.
