Tesla’s massive battery in Australia was paid up to $1000/MWh to absorb excess electricity

Teslas big project in Australia had some good news in the last weeks, where it hold the grid up when it needet it in some miliseconds where another power plant would have taken 1h to get going.

Now another good news from the project, it could load itself with excess energy from the grid and get payed for it too.

When an electricity grid has to much energy, this could cause blackouts too and it is crutial to hold the grid in a nice level in between.
With batteries like these this is not a problem anymore.

Sure, we need some more but there is a good example what these systems could do for the grid and for the owner.

This system got 1000 AUD per megawatthour and could sell this energy at another time too :)
This is awesome.

I hope there will be many more systems like this near renewables like wind and solar as distributed small smartgrids to stabalize the whole grid.
I hope the terrific outages in australia are in the past now with this and other projects like that.
This could be a gamechanger for the whole planet and I am glad that Tesla is the company wich started it.

I hope you enjoy these topics, for more insights the original link to this news is unter this post.

In best regards Daniel
