Tesla chief executive Ailong·masike has bet that within 100 days he will build "the world's largest lithium-ion battery" to help Australia solve its power problems. In almost two months, he kept his promise.
The United States 'critical point' website reported that the 100 MW lithium ion battery pack has now been installed in South Australia and is connected to the Huoensidaier wind farm operated by the French new energy company Neoen to store wind power.
Before it is put into use on December 1, the battery will be tested to ensure compliance with local regulations.
South Australia Governor Jieyi·weiselier said in a statement on the 23rd, "the world's largest battery" will be an important part of the energy structure of South Australia, "the project can be delivered in such a short period of time, invested a lot of work." According to him, the test is scheduled to take place within a few days.
The power problem is a problem for South Australia. At the peak of power consumption in the summer of February and March this year, South Australia implemented a intermittent power supply policy due to lack of electricity. In September, a storm hit the area and caused a large area to fall into a daily power outage crisis. The state government's energy policy was criticized.
Musk promised on social media in March that he would complete 100 megawatts of the world's largest lithium-ion battery pack in 100 days, or else the battery would be "delivered". At the end of September, he signed an agreement with the South Australian government to enter the countdown.
Musk estimates that the cost of building batteries is at least $50 million. The battery stores enough electricity to meet the power needs of 30,000 households and can also act as an emergency power supply during power shortages.
