The largest lithium-ion battery in the world will soon become more powerful by 50%

Despite all the advances in green energy, there are still many acute problems that require solutions. Perhaps the main problem is the accumulation and storage of energy produced.

Why do we need such storage

A similar problem encountered Australian Jamestown, wherein the periodic power outage (especially during peak hours) have become the norm.

This situation is due to the excessively rapid abandonment of traditional energy sources and the transition to green energy.

To solve this problem it was decided to build the largest lithium-ion energy storage (basically a giant battery).

Who implemented the project

The project is implemented by Tesla as early as 2017 about wind power Hornsdale Wind Farm, which will charge batteries from wind power, and then in the peak hours to maintain power supply 30 000 households in the nearby town Jamestown.

At that time, the power setting was 128 MWh. The project was a success and the local authorities have decided to increase the capacity of an existing plant by almost half to 193.5 MWh.

When completed reconstruction

Planned date of completion of the project the most powerful lithium-ion batteries in the world - the first half of 2020. How much will the current expansion of the store is unknown, but it was the construction cost to the authorities in 66 evergreen million US dollars and for the first year brought profit to 50 million dollars.
