Genex Power Ltd. said one of 40 megapacks at the Bouldercombe Battery Project in Rockhampton caught fire at about 7:45 p.m. local time Tuesday. The storage battery pack is being allowed to burn out under the supervision of firefighters and efforts have begun to determine what prompted the incident, the company said Wednesday in a statement.
