Tesla and lithium ion batteries

Tesla successfully installed the world's larger lithium-ion batteries ahead of the 100-day deadline set by Elon Musk, its chief executive.

Tesla Batteries are fully installed and connected to the Hornsdale Wind Power Plant, South Australian officials said on Thursday. They said the batteries would be recharged in the next few days. This wind power plant is located in the northern part of Jamestown and is operated by the French renewable energy company Neoen.

In July, Tesla and Neoen were awarded contracts for the project. Musk promised to complete the battery pack installation in the grid interconnection agreement within 100 days, otherwise no money will be received.

Musk sent a message on Twitter congratulating "the Tesla team and the South Australian authorities who worked so hard to complete the manufacturing and installation of the battery pack in record time".

The battery pack is now being tested to ensure its quality and compliance with the Australian Energy Market Operators report and the requirements of the South Australian Government.

Earlier this year, Australian officials released details of an energy plan designed to provide people in southern Australia with cleaner, cheaper and more reliable energy. Part of the plan is to build a huge battery pack to store renewable energy and provide "backup energy" when needed.

"At a time when others are just talking, we have put forward our own energy plan to make South Australia more self-sufficient in energy," South Australian Prime Minister Jay Weatherhill said in a statement Thursday. And this summer, South Australians were provided with cheaper alternative energy. "

"The world's larger lithium-ion batteries will be an important part of our energy landscape, sending a clearer signal that South Australia will become a leader in renewable energy for battery storage," says Weatherhill. "
