Megablock lands in Germany!⚡️

Recap of Mega Munich where our team hosted customers for technical deep dives on everything from fire safety, to grid compliance, and controls

Grid-forming inverters provide critical grid stability by independently maintaining voltage and frequency

Frequency is the heartbeat of the grid - when it's disrupted blackouts can occur. As more renewables come online, grid-forming inverters are crucial for maintaining frequency and preserving grid resilience

Megapacks are currently operating in grid-forming mode across the globe

[Tesla Megapack @Tesla_Megapack]

2 GWh of Megapacks are co-located with 500MWac of solar in Kern County, California at one of the largest solar-plus-storage projects in the US

The site will be capable of providing clean energy equivalent to the annual usage of roughly 467,000 homes, significantly reducing carbon emissions (over 1 million metric tons of CO₂ per year) and supporting grid stability

Sweet new Supercharger opened on I-5, powered by plenty of sunshine and Megapacks! Operating off-grid ⚡️

[Tesla Charging @TeslaCharging]

168 stalls, 11 MW of solar, 10 @Tesla_Megapack constructed in 8 months in Lost Hills, CA.
84 stalls now open, solely powered by the sun and operating off-grid. Remaining stalls & lounge coming later this year. Safe Fourth of July travels!

The full extent of inverter capabilities won't be leveraged until we can have broad adoption of grid-forming technology!

758 MW of solar supported by 1.2 GWh of Megapack at Arevon’s site in Kern County, California

[Tesla Megapack @Tesla_Megapack]

Now operating - Eland 1, a hybrid solar + Megapack project, owned and operated by Arevon

This is the first project deployed with Tesla's new site-level controls that seamlessly regulate power output to buffer the intermittency of solar and provide a firm resource to the grid. The hybrid configuration allows more solar power to be installed at the site than the interconnection nameplate, while also avoiding costly solar curtailment

ISO Today app still doesn’t get old. Batteries serving 16% of the California grid at 7pm with 7GW+ and a neat looking reverse (generation) duck curve.

[Tesla Energy @teslaenergy]

Powerwall & @Tesla_Megapack together achieved record storage deployments of 9.4 GWh in Q2

@SironaTechCDR @localglobevc @XAngeVC 🥳🥂

[Julian Spector @JulianSpector]

For years we've been hearing how great grid batteries can be, but it was hard to see in action.

Now California's got 10GW online and they're visibly reshaping grid activity. I broke down some of the major trends, as visualized by the folks @grid_status https://t.co/7RTbIg0wbF

[Tesla Megapack @Tesla_Megapack]

On Wednesday, we hosted our first Megapack Installer Day.

Tesla experts shared insights on installation, commissioning, service, controls, safety and more.

Thanks to our partners who joined!

[Grid Status @grid_status]

In 2024, natural gas generation on an average April day in California hit a 7-year low.

This is a significant trend reversal from what we saw from 2021 to 2023 in CAISO.

[Joe Deely @jdeely]

It looks like having battery storage as the top supply source for a few early evening hours will become common for shoulder months on @California_ISO grid going forward.

Happened again last night from 6:45pm - 8:25pm.

[Tesla Megapack @Tesla_Megapack]

Last Tuesday night, battery storage became the largest source of supply to the California grid for the first time, discharging over 6GW

While most eclipse observers will be staring at the sky, grid operators will be making sure the power stays on in the darkness.

[Marie Washer 🔋 @MarieWasher]

It’s 4pm and not even summer yet, and 56% of California’s power is coming from renewables. Mostly solar, then wind.

[Tesla Megapack @Tesla_Megapack]

Congrats to Plus Power and the Tesla Autobidder team on landing the #1 spot in the @ModoEnergy ERCOT rankings with Gambit in 2023! ⚡️

This Megapack project in Southeast Texas demonstrates how much value energy storage can deliver to the grid with optimized performance

[Marie Washer 🔋 @MarieWasher]

@ricburton Still super impressive, but sounds like a lot more data than what is actually valuable!

[Marie Washer 🔋 @MarieWasher]

@ricburton Can they make it less verbose and more straight to the point? So many words to say so little
