Tesla’s South Australia, Powerpack facility,
. . . currently stands as the largest lithium-ion battery of its kind on the planet.
Powered by clean energy from Neoen’s Hornsdale Wind Farm near Jamestown, the mammoth
. . . 100 MW/129 MWh battery is capable of powering up to
. . . 30,000 homes during blackout periods.

The Powerpack system in South Australia,
. . . has already proven itself multiple times since it was completed,
. . . providing ample backup power, and
. . . other grid services hundreds of times in December 2017 alone.
More notably, Tesla’s energy system,
. . . recently supplied emergency power to one of Australia’s biggest coal-fired power stations,
. . . after it experienced an unexpected loss of power on December 14.

Victoria, Australia,
. . . now wants batteries installed in Bulgana, though at
. . . 20 MW, the system would only be
. . . 1/5th the size of South Australia’s facility.

"What we’re seeing with the South Australian battery,
. . . what we’re seeing in Victoria,
. .. is really the tip of the iceberg,
. . . for a pipeline of projects that’s coming along.
. . . This is a breakout year for energy storage.”
