Tesla Megapack
Akaysha Energy has activated its 205 MW/410 MWh Brendale Battery Energy Storage System in Queensland, Australia, nearly five months ahead of schedule. The facility, powered by Tesla Megapack 2 technology, connects to Brisbane's South Pine substation and supports the region's energy needs ahead of the 2032 Summer Olympics. It provides energy arbitrage, frequency control services, and enhanced grid stability through grid-forming capabilities.

xAI has acquired a third building to expand its AI infrastructure, boosting total training compute to nearly 2 gigawatts. This setup includes a $400 million Tesla Megapack energy storage system and will pair with over $30 billion in GPUs once fully built. The project positions it as the most powerful AI compute facility globally, though future developments may dwarf it.
