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.
Tesla has officially landed a deal to build what it says will be the largest grid-scale battery power plant in China when completed, marking a significant milestone in its global energy ambitions (via CNBC). Announced via Tesla’s official Weibo account, the project will be powered by the company’s utility-grade Megapack battery systems.
The new facility will be located in Shanghai, where Tesla’s existing battery factory has already produced over 100 Megapack units in Q1 of this year. Tesla described the upcoming facility as a “smart regulator” for urban electricity, per a Google translation of the company’s Weibo post.
According to Reuters, CATL is also expected to supply battery cells for the Tesla Megapacks that will be deployed for this project, signaling a collaborative yet competitive energy ecosystem. Tesla manufactures the bulk of its utility-grade batteries at its Megafactory in Lathrop, California, which churned out its 10,000th Megapack last year.
The company added that the power plant will “effectively solve the pressure of urban power supply and ensure the safe, stable and efficient electricity demand of the city.” This project will support Beijing’s national goal of adding 5 gigawatts of battery-powered storage by the end of 2025, boosting China’s total capacity to 40 GW.
