Tesla's energy storage plant in Shanghai's Lin-gang Special Area commenced operation on Feb 11, as the assembly line started the production of the first Megapack unit. The Megapack, which is an advanced battery system designed for large-scale energy projects, can store more than 3,900 kilowatt-hours of electricity in a single unit.
Their growing use helps stabilize power grids, prevent outages, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This project is Tesla’s first large-scale energy storage installation in China, complementing its existing automotive manufacturing presence in the city through Giga Shanghai.
The newly opened Shanghai Megafactory is expected to supply Megapacks for the new energy storage station. The factory has a targeted annual capacity of 10,000 Megapack units, equal to 40 GWh of storage. Are you buying a Tesla?
Capacity for global battery energy storage systems rose 42 gigawatts in 2023, nearly doubling the total increase in capacity observed in the previous year, according to the International Energy Agency. — CNBC's Arjun Kharpal contributed reporting.
