Huge Win For Tesla, Secured Major Australian Power Company Deal Involving Powerpacks

Tesla is certainly well on its way to competing with some of the world’s biggest energy providers as it recently secured a deal with a major electric company in Australia called Transgrid, which will be using its Powerpacks in bulk. This is a huge win, not only for Tesla but for the renewable energy industry, in general.

Located in New South Whales (NSW), Transgrid operates a part of the total electric system of the National Electric Market in Australia, Futurism reports. According to the agreement that Tesla reached with the company, powerpacks will be installed in several sites all across NSW. The first to benefit from the new researchable power storage units will be Alexandra Canal Works, a depot in Sidney.

One of the biggest reasons for why Australia needed to use power stage products like the Powerpacks is the fact that relying solely on wind and solar energy has come with a few instabilities in certain regions. Since the flow of electricity is not exactly consistent, Transgrid needed to find a way to stabilize the production of power and its delivery to consumers.

What’s more, it’s also a means of lowering the prices of power and ensuring that households and businesses don’t have to keep suffering through blackouts. It’s worth noting that this particular deal with Transgrid is not the same as what Tesla has placed a bid on with the Australian government, Electrek recently reported.

At that time, the country’s leaders decided to hand a tender to provide 100MWh of energy, which Tesla immediately tried to grab. Elon Musk even promised that his Powerpacks will be able to meet their demands within 100 days or he would waive the costs of the power storage units. It’s a bold promise that shows confidence in his products, and with the list growing shorter by the day, Tesla might just snag another win.
