State-owned energy company Stanwell has confirmed the arrival of Tesla Megapack 2XL units at its 300MW/1,200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at Stanwell Power Station in Queensland, Australia.
Developer Lion Storage has successfully reached financial close on a 1.4GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) set to be developed in the Netherlands.
Tesla and Sumitomo Electric have both been selected to supply energy storage projects in Japan. Tesla will supply Megapacks for a BESS project while Sumitomo will deploy a 12MWh vanadium flow battery.
Project owners BSTOR and Energy Solutions Group have started building separate BESS projects totalling 440MWh of capacity in Belgium, following financial close, both of which will use Tesla Megapacks.
Lumea, the commercial arm of Australian transmission system operator Transgrid, has commenced grid works to connect the 1.6GWh Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (MREH) in Victoria, Australia.
