Elon Musk unveils the world's best 'battery' plan

Tesla Elon Musk, owner of Tesla, says the company's plan to build the world's largest battery in southern Australia is halfway through.

The 100 megawatt (129,000 kwh) lithium battery was born from a Twitter deal between Musk and Australian software firm Mike Cannon-Brookes.

Mr. Musk declared that Tesla will manufacture batteries "crisis", run by wind power in 100 days. If expired, the company will have to free the entire works for Australia.

The giant battery is designed to help solve the frequent power cuts in South Australia. Critics say that dependence on renewable energy sources has pushed the region into a recession.

Debates on Twitter triggered a series of activities in Australia. Three of Tesla's rivals - Zen Energy, Carnegie Clean Energy and Lyon Group - have tried to offer lower rates and shorter lead times. Ultimately, the four companies have been invited by the South Australian government to bid for a portion of the $ 150 million project, including the construction of a giant battery and other renewable energy sources.

Tesla has 100 days, starting from September 30 to complete the 100 megawatt battery.

Tesla finally won and cooperated with French company Neoen, a business that will build windmill farms next to the " super " battery .

After winning the bid, Tesla had 100 days, starting Sept. 30 to complete the 100-megawatt battery. Mr Musk said that if it can not meet this deadline, the company will lose up to $ 50 million.
