Megapack: the storage battery designed by Tesla to support a country's public service.

After its Powerpack, Tesla is launching the Megapack: an even more efficient energy storage system. The California electric car start-up has already designed a giant 129 MWh lithium-ion battery in Hornsdale, South Australia, to balance the country's power grid. Tesla is now looking even further: "To meet the global demand for large-scale battery storage projects such as Hornsdale, Tesla has designed and developed a new battery product specially designed for large-scale projects: Megapack" , explains the brand in a press release dated July 29, 2019. Batteries can use excess energy produced by solar panels or wind turbines to support power grid peaks.

The Megapacks offer a storage capacity of 3 MWh. They will be at the heart of an emission-free plant of 250 MW and 1 GWh. It is built on the same model as the Powerpack but increases its energy density by 60%. This performance will “provide significant time and cost savings over other battery systems and traditional fossil fuel power plants.” According to Tesla, the installation of Powerpack saved the Australian state almost $40 million (36 million euros) in its first year of operation.
