Tesla has secured a $275 million order for its Megapack battery systems from Matrix Renewables to build a 500 MW/1 GWh energy storage facility in Eccles, Scotland. This marks Matrix's first standalone battery project in the UK and aims to enhance grid flexibility and renewable energy integration. The deal underscores growing demand for large-scale storage solutions amid the UK's clean energy transition.
Tesla is planning its biggest-ever battery storage megafactory in Shanghai, China, to bolster grid-scale energy solutions. The facility will focus on producing Megapack units to support renewable energy integration and urban power stability. This move aligns with China's aggressive targets for renewables and peak-shaving requirements.
