Elon Musk has just completed the world's largest battery

This battery is used in the Powerpack system in South Australia, expected to provide power to more than 30,000 households here.

He bet the world that he will create in 100 days, and now he has done it.

Tesla completed the installation of this giant battery in the South Australian region, in the Powerpack system with a capacity of 100 Megawatt. The next step is to run the test to test the stability of the entire system.

The test will begin over the next few days, to ensure that the Powerpack battery system has been optimized, as well as being able to meet the requirements of the South Australian government, before officially introducing the system. operating on December 1 here.

Representatives from Tesla, together with clean energy company Neoen from France and engineering factory Adelaide will be available in Australia next week to officially launch this battery system.

The Powerpack system is located at Neoen's Hornsdale wind farm, 3 hours away from Adelaide. This system is expected to address the energy problems of the South Australian region.

The bet started on September 29, in which Elon Musk said if he could not complete the battery for 100 days, the entire cost of the system would be paid by Elon himself.

After a massive power outage in September 2016, the South Australian region fell into a shortage of electricity and needed to find a way to resolve it soon. Therefore, the Powerpack system was built in the hope of "stabilizing the South Australian electricity network" , as well as providing enough electricity for more than 30,000 households here.

In March 2017, the Australian government announced a $ 114 million investment plan to support renewable energy projects. Tesla was selected among the 90 contractors involved in the project to provide energy storage equipment for the Hornsdale wind farm.

"We are not only talking, but also working to make South Australia a region that can be self-reliant on electricity, as well as being able to provide backup energy resources for households here, with The world's largest battery made by Tesla will be a very important part of the grid, and will be a statement to the world that South Australia will be at the forefront of renewable energy. ".

The Powerpack system will officially operate on December 1, and then Elon Musk may continue to focus on his other projects like the Roadster, or the project to bring people to Mars.
