🔋World’s biggest lithium ion battery set to be energised .
Tesla has completed its 100 megawatt Powerpack battery backup system in South Australia within 100 days (easily), as Elon Musk had promised.
That means the company essentially won the “bet,” and won’t be on the hook for the entire cost of the project, estimated at $50 million.
More importantly, it means that some 30,000 homes in South Australia will have a power backup in case there’s no breeze at the Hornsdale Wind Farm located about two hours from Adelaide.
