Vistra Corp Stock news
On September 8, 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the commencement of the final phase of the battery cleanup at Vistra Corp.'s (NYSE: VST) Moss Landing facility in California. This regulatory milestone involves the demolition of the storage building impacted by the January 2025 fire and the removal of severely damaged lithium--ion batteries for processing and off--site disposal. EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator Mike Martucci characterized the initiative as a "huge milestone in this unprecedented lithium--ion battery cleanup." While Vistra has successfully expanded the site's operational capacity to 1,100 MW, this remediation effort is a critical step in mitigating legacy environmental and safety liabilities under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
