Installing world’s biggest battery in terms of power capacity, Tesla has assured the Australian government that the battery is capable of meeting the power needs of 30,000 homes for about 1 hour of time. The battery, installed in Jamestown, has already started adding 70 megawatts of power to the state grid. Staying with the promise made by Tesla’s chief – Elon Musk’s words, the company handed over the battery to the Australian govt. within 60 days of reaching in on contract. Earlier Musk had put forward a 100 day deadline, before which he would hand the battery over to the Australian govt.
The battery is capable of generating 100 megawatts, and Tesla had partnered with Neon in building the battery.
