State regulators tie PFPrA in public supply wells to the clean-agent suppression system at the 2023 East Hampton fire, where the agent mixed with firefighting water. The sister Montauk site was suspended too because it uses the same agent. Pollution exclusions, suppression-agent selection, and fleet-wide suspension BI belong in every BESS renewal conversation. | Source: https://liparks.com/news/nextera-suspends-east-hampton-montauk-battery-storage-pfpra-novec-1230
